Publishable Notes For Orbits Of Minor Planets

Alphabetic notes that are associated with orbits are defined according to the scheme below:

  D  Double (or multiple) designation(s)
  E  Eccentricity assumed
  F  = D + E

In residual blocks the following codes are used:

 ( ) Brackets surround the residuals of observations rejected
        from the solution
  Y  Observation published to precision of 0s.1 in R.A. and
        1" in Decl.
  X  Observation published to precision of < 1s in R.A. or
        < 0'.1 in Decl.
