Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 5425 P/Boattini (2010 U1 = 2025 M4)
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 131 observations 2009 to 2025. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.54 arc second. Residuals of recovery observations were +4'.4 for Right Ascension and +2'.1 for Declination from the prediction in NK 2398 (= CH 2025) with the delta-T correction = -0.72 day. The comet has passed 0.62 AU from Jupiter on 1973 November and 2.04 AU from Jupiter on 2014 Sept. 2 UT. See the previous orbits in NK 2039, NK 2132, NK 2246, NK 2398 (= CH 2025) and CBET 5590 (same orbit). Epoch = 2026 Aug. 28.0 TT T = 2026 Sept. 9.06817 +/- 0.00505 (m.e.)
