NOTES: +
+
1. +
DATE is the instant for which the prediction is +required. It is in the TT timescale (formerly +Ephemeris Time, ET) and is a + Modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5). +
2. +
The elements are with respect to + the J2000 ecliptic and equinox. +
3. +
Three different element-format options are available, as + follows.
+

+JFORM=1, suitable for the major planets: +


+ 		 EPOCH 		 = 		 epoch of elements t0 (TT MJD)
+		 ORBINC 		 = 		 inclination i (radians)
+		 ANODE 		 = 		 longitude of the ascending node $\Omega$ (radians)
+		 PERIH 		 = 		 longitude of perihelion $\varpi$ (radians)
+		 AORQ 		 = 		 mean distance a (AU)
+		 E 		 = 		 eccentricity e $( 0 \leq e < 1 )$ 
+		 AORL 		 = 		 mean longitude L (radians)
+		 DM 		 = 		 daily motion n (radians)        
+
+

+JFORM=2, suitable for minor planets: +


+ 		 EPOCH 		 = 		 epoch of elements t0 (TT MJD)
+		 ORBINC 		 = 		 inclination i (radians)
+		 ANODE 		 = 		 longitude of the ascending node $\Omega$ (radians)
+		 PERIH 		 = 		 argument of perihelion $\omega$ (radians)
+		 AORQ 		 = 		 mean distance a (AU)
+		 E 		 = 		 eccentricity e $( 0 \leq e < 1 )$ 
+		 AORL 		 = 		 mean anomaly M (radians)        
+
+

+JFORM=3, suitable for comets: +


+ 		 EPOCH 		 = 		 epoch of perihelion T (TT MJD)
+		 ORBINC 		 = 		 inclination i (radians)
+		 ANODE 		 = 		 longitude of the ascending node $\Omega$ (radians)
+		 PERIH 		 = 		 argument of perihelion $\omega$ (radians)
+		 AORQ 		 = 		 perihelion distance q (AU)
+		 E 		 = 		 eccentricity e $( 0 \leq e \leq 10 )$
+
4. +
Unused elements (DM for JFORM=2, AORL and DM for JFORM=3) are + not accessed. +
5. +
The reference frame for the result is equatorial and is with + respect to the mean equinox and ecliptic of epoch J2000. +
6. +
The algorithm was originally adapted from the EPHSLA program of + D.H.P.Jones (private communication, 1996). The method + is based on Stumpff's Universal Variables. +
