Times AFTER 1962 are in UTC, the current civil or "wall-clock" time-scale. UTC is kept within 0.9 seconds of UT1 by introduction of integer leap-seconds for 1972 and later. Conversion from the internal TDB timescale to the non-uniform UT time-scale requested for output has not been determined for UTC times after the next July or January 1st. Therefore, the last known leap-second is used as a constant over future intervals. Time tags refer to the UT time on Earth, regardless of where the observer is located in the solar system. For example, if an observation from the surface of another body has an output time-tag of 12:31:00 UT, it refers to a time-scale conversion from TDB to UT valid at the center of the Earth, not the actual observer location elsewhere in the solar system, where clock rates may differ slightly due to the local spacetime metric and there is no precisely defined or adopted "UT" analog. Any 'b' symbol in the 1st-column denotes a B.C. date. First-column blank (" ") denotes an A.D. date. Calendar dates prior to 1582-Oct-15 are in the Julian calendar system. Later calendar dates are in the Gregorian system. NOTE: "n.a." in output means quantity "not available" at the print-time. R.A._(ICRF/J2000.0)_DEC = Astrometric right ascension and declination of the TARGET CENTER with respect to the observing site in the coordinates of the ICRF/J2000 inertial reference frame. Compensated for down-leg light-time. Units: RA in hours-minutes-seconds of time (HH MM SS.ff), DEC in angular degrees-minutes-seconds (DD MM SS.f) APmag S-brt = Asteroid's approximate apparent visual magnitude & surface brightness: APmag = H + 5*log10(delta) + 5*log10(r) - 2.5*log10((1-G)*phi1 + G*phi2) For solar phase angles > 90 deg, the error could exceed 1 magnitude. For phase angles > 120 degrees, output values are rounded to the nearest integer to indicate the errors could be large and unknown. Units: NONE & VISUAL MAGNITUDES PER SQUARE ARCSECOND delta deldot = Range ("delta") and range-rate ("delta-dot") of target center with respect to the observer at the instant light seen by the observer at print-time would have left the target center (print-time minus down-leg light-time); the distance traveled by a light ray emanating from the center of the target and recorded by the observer at print-time. "deldot" is a projection of the velocity vector along this ray, the light-time-corrected line-of-sight from the coordinate center, and indicates relative motion. A positive "deldot" means the target center is moving away from the observer (coordinate center). A negative "deldot" means the target center is moving toward the observer. Units: AU and KM/S S-O-T /r = Sun-Observer-Target angle; target's apparent SOLAR ELONGATION seen from the observer location at print-time. Angular units: DEGREES The '/r' column indicates the target's apparent position relative to the Sun in the observer's sky, as described below: For an observing location on the surface of a rotating body (considering its rotational sense): /T indicates target TRAILS Sun (evening sky; rises and sets AFTER Sun) /L indicates target LEADS Sun (morning sky; rises and sets BEFORE Sun) For an observing point NOT on a rotating body (such as a spacecraft), the "leading" and "trailing" condition is defined by the observer's heliocentric orbital motion: if continuing in the observer's current direction of heliocentric motion would encounter the target's apparent longitude first, followed by the Sun's, the target LEADS the Sun as seen by the observer. If the Sun's apparent longitude would be encountered first, followed by the target's, the target TRAILS the Sun. NOTE: The S-O-T solar elongation angle is numerically the minimum separation angle of the Sun and target in the sky in any direction. It does NOT indicate the amount of separation in the leading or trailing directions, which are defined in the equator of a spherical coordinate system. S-T-O = "S-T-O" is the Sun->Target->Observer angle; the interior vertex angle at target center formed by a vector to the apparent center of the Sun at reflection time on the target and the apparent vector to the observer at print-time. Slightly different from true PHASE ANGLE (requestable separately) at the few arcsecond level in that it includes stellar aberration on the down-leg from target to observer.
