ORBITAL ELEMENTS FOR COMET HALE-BOPP (1995 O1)

The following (J2000) osculating orbital elements can be used to generate ephemeris data using two body programs. However, care must be taken to select an orbital element set with an epoch close to the desired ephemeris output times.

Delta = Geocentric distance of object in AU

Deldot = Geocentric radial velocity of object in km/s

r = Heliocentric distance of object in AU

Theta = Sun-Earth-Object angle in degrees

Beta = Sun-Object-Earth angle in degrees

Moon = Moon-Earth-Object angle in degrees

Tmag = Total magnitude

= .0 + 5.00*log(Delta) + 7.50*log(r)
