Abstract

Perturbations of Minor Planets An extraordinary amount of computational work on the minor planets is carried out by German astronomers. Computations for 287 planets carried out by Dr. K. Boda of Frankfort-on-Main, with some help from two other astronomers, have recently been published (Astr. Nach., No. 5954-5). For most of the planets, time-intervals of one year suffice, but for nine planets that make fairly close approaches to Jupiter they are given for intervals of three months. One of the latter is 1036 Ganymede, which has an orbit of great eccentricity, so that it comes near the earth at perihelion and near Jupiter at aphelion.
