epoch | Epoch | MPC epoch (terrestrial time, TT). | N/A | time.epoch |
i | I | MPC orbit inclination, J2000.0. | deg | src.orbital.inclination |
m | M | MPC mean anomaly at epoch. | N/A | src.orbital.meananomaly |
multiopp_year_first_observed | Multiopp_year_first_observed | MPC year first observed. | N/A | time |
multiopp_year_last_observed | Multiopp_year_last_observed | MPC year last observed. | N/A | time |
n | N | MPC mean daily motion. | deg/d | src.orbital.meananomaly |
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 |
name | Name | Name of body (asteroid or dwarf planet). May be an alternative designation. | N/A | meta.id |
node | Node | MPC longitude of the ascending node, J2000.0 | deg | src.orbital.node |
number | Number | MPC body number | N/A | meta.id |
packed_designation | Packed_designation | MPC packed designation of body (asteroid or dwarf planet). | N/A | meta.id |
perihelion | Perihelion | MPC orbit argument of perihelion. | deg | src.orbital.periastron |
rms | Rms | MPC RMS residual. | N/A | stat.fit.residual |
sin_i | Sin_i | MPC orbit sine of inclination. | N/A | N/A |
singleopp_arc_length | Singleopp_arc_length | MPC arc length for single-opposition orbits. | d | time |
