Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 5283 P/2024 Q1 (PANSTARRS)
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 52 observations 2024 June 3 to Aug. 30. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.62 arc second. Comet has passed 0.32 AU from Jupiter on 2015 Mar. 17 UT. Orbit depends upon single observation on June 3. See an orbit in CBET 5437 (same orbit). Epoch = 2024 June 19.0 TT T = 2024 June 14.54096 +/- 0.00692 (m.e.)
