Sorted by DB column index. [Sort alphabetically]

i | I | MPC orbit inclination, J2000.0. | deg | src.orbital.inclination |
sin_i | Sin_i | MPC orbit sine of inclination. | N/A | N/A |
perihelion | Perihelion | MPC orbit argument of perihelion. | deg | src.orbital.periastron |
node | Node | MPC longitude of the ascending node, J2000.0 | deg | src.orbital.node |
m | M | MPC mean anomaly at epoch. | N/A | src.orbital.meananomaly |
n | N | MPC mean daily motion. | deg/d | src.orbital.meananomaly |
epoch | Epoch | MPC epoch (terrestrial time, TT). | N/A | time.epoch |
n_obs | N_obs | MPC number of observations. | N/A | meta.number;obs |
n_opp | N_opp | MPC number of oppositions. | N/A | meta.number |
