Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3772 P/2018 P4 (PANSTARRS)

The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 102 observations 2018 July 10 to Dec. 4. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.34 arc second. See an orbit in HICQ 2019. Epoch = 2018 Nov. 18.0 TT T = 2018 Nov. 7.37161 +/- 0.01860 (m.e.)
