Chandler, Center for Astrophysics, are from optical observations June 22-July 3 and highly precise radar data obtained by S. Ostro at Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory on July 4 and 5. In attempting to represent the optical data, it should be noted that these elements are offset to the FK5 equinox: Epoch = 1990 June 18.0 ET T = 1990 Aug. 9.2824 ET Peri. = 112.7385 e = 0.456068 Node = 210.9790 1950.0 q = 0.950103 AU Incl. = 1.8705 a = 1.746730 AU n = 0.4269385 P = 2.309 years 1990 ET R.A.
