Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 1967 P/LINEAR (1999 U3 = 2010 P2)

The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 204 observations 1999 to 2010. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.55 arc second. The correction to the prediction in NK 1461 (= MPC 59600 and HICQ 2009/2010) is delta-T= -0.22 day. RunOff values are +239" for R.A. and -84" for Decl.. Epoch = 2010 July 23.0 TT T = 2010 July 18.30077 +/- 0.00071 (m.e.)
