Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3136 P/2014 W4 (PANSTARRS)
The following improved orbital elements, by T. Kobayashi, are from 59 observations 2014 Oct. 25 to 2015 Dec. 18. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.31 arc second. See the previous orbits in HICQ 2015 and NK 3027. Epoch = 2016 Jan. 13.0 TT T = 2015 Dec. 29.65772 +/- 0.01120 (m.e.)
