Orbital Elements The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka, are from 158 observations 1991 Sept. 8 to 1996 Sept. 2, perturbations by 9 Planets, Moon and 5 minor planets were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.63 arc seconds. Epoch = 1996 July 16.0 TT JDT = 2450280.5 T = 1996 July 14.58862 +/- 0.00112 (m.e.) TT Peri. = 87.27094 +/- 0.00019 Node = 153.36897 +/- 0.00009 (2000.0) Incl. = 9.96899 +/- 0.00002 q = 1.5399039 +/- 0.0000015 AU e = 0.5090900 +/- 0.0000003 a = 3.1368353 +/- 0.0000012 AU n = 0.17740527 +/- 0.00000010 P = 5.556 +/- 0.0000031 years
