VI/88               Ephemerides of Pluto  (PLUTO95)         (Chapront+ 1995)

Description:
      Pluto's motion has been represented with series resulting of an
      approximation by frequency analysis (see Chapront 1995) of JPL
      numerical integration DE200. Series represent the heliocentric
      coordinates of Pluto as functions of time between 1700 and 2100.
      This catalog completes the VSOP87 theories developed at the
      Bureau des Longitudes (see Cat. <VI/81>)

Contents:
      The presentation of the tables is given in file : pluto.doc.
      A Fortran subroutine pluto.sub (95.1) is provided for the computation
      of the heliocentric rectangular positions and velocities of Pluto.
