Orbital Elements The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka, are from 41 observations 1998 Oct. 24 to 1999 Jan. 14, perturbations by 9 Planets, Moon and 5 minor planets were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.67 arc seconds. Epoch = 1998 Nov. 3.0 TT JDT = 2451120.5 T = 1998 Nov. 2.74288 +/- 0.42378 (m.e.) TT Peri. = 244.49809 +/- 0.37616 Node = 159.20540 +/- 0.33259 (2000.0) Incl. = 5.03127 +/- 0.01276 q = 3.4053810 +/- 0.0003107 AU e = 0.2439534 +/- 0.0000458 a = 4.5041946 +/- 0.0003072 AU n = 0.10310467 +/- 0.00001055 P = 9.559 +/- 0.0009781 years (+/- 0.36 day)
