Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3020 C/2015 B2 (PANSTARRS)

The following improved orbital elements, S. Nakano, are from 87 observations 2015 Jan. 6 to Oct. 21. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.36 arc second. The comet has passed 3.09 AU from Jupiter on 2015 Jan. 22 UT. See the previous orbit in NK 2978 (= HICQ 2015). Epoch = 2016 May 12.0 TT T = 2016 May 6.57699 +/- 0.00114 (m.e.)
