Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3785 P/2017 X1 (PANSTARRS)

The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 74 observations 2017 Dec. 12 to 2019 Feb. 15. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.39 arc second. Residuals on 2019 February were -21" mainly for Right Ascension from an orbit in NK 3694 (= HICQ 2019). See the previous orbits in NK 3593 and NK 3694. Epoch = 2018 June 11.0 TT T = 2018 June 14.36462 +/- 0.00583 (m.e.) TT Peri. = 283.09508 +/- 0.00075 Node = 251.12670 +/- 0.00013 (2000.0) Inc. = 31.31085 +/- 0.00002 q = 4.6627321 +/- 0.0000124 AU e = 0.8510551 +/- 0.0000101 a = 31.3050798 +/- 0.0021300 AU n' = 0.00562706 +/- 0.00000057 P = 175.155 +/- 0.0178785 years (+/- 6.53 days) The predicted orbit for the 2191 return is as follows: T = 2191 Apr. 13.49108 TT Epoch = 2191 Apr. 5.0 TT Peri. = 283.06898 e = 0.8521365 Node = 251.00872 (2000.0) a = 31.5301033 AU Inc. = 31.30423 n'= 0.00556693 q = 4.6621499 AU P = 177.047 years The following residuals in seconds of arc are from the above orbital elements: Date Code Residual(") Date Code Residual(") Date Code Residual(") 2017/ 171215 I52 0.4- 0.6- 180211 474 0.1+ 0.0 171212 F51 0.2+ 0.0 171215 I52 0.2- 1.3- 180213 474 0.0 0.0 171212 F51 0.2- 0.1- 171216 I52 0.4- 0.3+ 180213 474 0.1- 0.1+ 171212 F51 0.0 0.1- 171216 I52 0.2+ 0.3+ 180213 474 0.1- 0.1+ 171212 F51 0.2- 0.1- 171216 I52 0.8+ 0.3+ 180310 474 0.2- 0.4- 171213 568 0.1+ 0.2- 171216 691 0.6+ 0.5+ 180310 474 0.3- 0.3- 171213 568 0.1+ 0.2- 171216 691 0.4+ 0.4+ 180310 474 0.1- 0.4- 171213 568 0.1+ 0.2- 171216 691 0.1- 0.3+ 180406 215 0.4- 0.5- 171214 I52 0.0 0.1+ 171219 691 0.2+ 0.2+ 180406 215 0.9- 0.5+ 171214 I52 0.4- 0.0 171219 691 0.4- 0.3+ 180406 215 0.7- 1.7+ 171214 I52 0.1+ 0.0 171219 691 0.1- 0.2+ 180413 474 0.8- 0.7- 171214 I52 0.2- 0.1+ 2018/ 180413 474 0.7- 0.6- 171214 Q62 0.3- 0.0 180103 F51 0.0 0.2+ 180413 474 0.5- 0.5- 171214 Q62 0.4- 0.1+ 180103 F51 0.0 0.2+ 180607 474 0.3- 0.5- 171214 Q62 0.4- 0.1+ 180103 F51 0.1- 0.2+ 180607 474 0.4- 0.5- 171215 807 0.2- 0.3- 180103 F51 0.3+ 0.1- 180607 474 0.3- 0.4- 171215 807 0.1- 0.1- 180103 F51 0.1+ 0.1- 180607 474 0.7- 0.5- 171215 807 0.1- 0.0 180103 F51 0.1+ 0.5+ 180717 474 0.9+ 0.2- 171215 W87 0.0 0.2- 180103 F51 0.1+ 0.1- 180717 474 0.9+ 0.3- 171215 W87 0.0 0.3- 180103 F51 0.1- 0.2+ 180717 474 0.6+ 0.5- 171215 W87 0.0 0.2- 180114 Q62 0.0 0.2+ 180717 474 0.9+ 0.4- 171215 W87 0.1+ 0.2- 180114 Q62 0.2+ 0.2+ 2019/ 171215 691 0.1+ 0.0 180114 Q62 0.4+ 0.3+ 190215 Q62 0.2- 0.7+ 171215 691 0.1+ 0.0 180211 474 0.0 0.1+ 190215 Q62 0.1- 0.6+ 171215 691 0.4+ 0.5- 180211 474 0.2- 0.0 190215 Q62 0.1- 0.2+ 171215 I52 0.5- 0.8- 180211 474 0.0 0.1+ ( ) -------- Rejected Obs.
