The instrument
public_ephem.tbz
computes the state vectors for the major bodies of the solar system,
two martian satellites, four Galilean
satellites, eight of Saturn's moons, six Uranian moons, thousands of comets,
and half a million asteroids.
The tool combines the JPL DE430 ephemeris, JPL osculatory orbital elements, and the Naval Observatory NOVAS positional astronomy package. The results thus compare favorably with those from JPL Horizons. A brief guide is in this README. Xephem by Elwood Downey is excellent, open, and is a lot of fun. Starry Night is not free or open, but visually yummy. |

public_ephem.tbz contains seven data files:
☊ unxp1950-2050.430 - JPL DE430 little-endian binary file for the major bodies in the solar system from 1950 to 2050. Most fortran compilers can convert to big-endian on-the-fly if desired, or visit JPL to roll your own binary files. ☊ comet_elements.dat - JPL osculatory orbital elements for comets. Current as of 25Sep2019; get updated versions from the JPL small-body database. ☊ numasteroids_elements.dat - JPL osculatory orbital elements for asteroids. Current as of 25Sep2019; get updated versions from the JPL small-body database. ☊ ephem.e15 - J2000 parameters for the Galilean satellites; from Jay Lieske's article. ☊ redtass7.dat - time series arguments for eight of saturn's satellites; from BDL. ☊ leap_second.dat - (TAI - UTC) timescale offsets; get updated versions from IERS or IERS. ☊ deltat.dat - (TT - UT1) timescale offsets; get updated versions from IERS or IERS. |
