############################################################################# version1/ used until October 2013 TNO ephemerides with old version of ephemeris computation. The weight of observations is given by: - Astdys (MPC): given by Astdys - ESO: weight = 90mas - OPD: weight = 180mas - Pic du Midi: weight = 180mas - Fraser: weight = 300mas - Unknown: weight = 300mas version2/ used from 25 October 2013 to 18 September 2014 TNO ephemerides with new version of ephemeris computation. weight is given by sqrt(bias^2+sigma^2/N) with N, the number of observations per night The bias is given by: - Astdys (MPC): depending on the catalogue - WFI: ESO bias = 75mas OPD bias = 150mas PdM bias = 150mas other bias = 300mas - UCAC/other ESO bias = 150mas OPD bias = 225mas Other bias = 300mas - Fraser: bias = 300mas - Unknown: bias = 300mas The sigma is given by: - Astdys (MPC): weight given by Astdys - ESO: sigma = 75mas - OPD: sigma = 150mas - Pic du Midi: sigma = 300mas - Fraser: sigma = 300mas - Unknown: sigma = 300mas version3.1/ used from 19 September 2014 to 25 November 2014 TNO observations are not merged into night anymore. Each observation now appears and the weight given to each observation is sqrt(bias^2*N+sigma^2) with N, the number of observations per night. The bias is given by: - Astdys (MPC): depending on the catalogue - WFI: ESO bias = 75mas OPD bias = 150mas PdM bias = 150mas other bias = 300mas - UCAC/other ESO bias = 150mas OPD bias = 225mas Other bias = 300mas - Fraser: bias = 300mas - Unknown: bias = 300mas The sigma is given by: - Astdys (MPC): weight given by Astdys - ESO: sigma = 75mas - OPD: sigma = 150mas - Pic du Midi: sigma = 300mas - Fraser: sigma = 300mas - Unknown: sigma = 300mas version3.2/ used since 25 November 2014 TNO observations are not merged into night anymore. Each observation now appears and the weight given to each observation is sqrt(bias^2*N+sigma^2) with N, the number of observations per night. The bias is given by: - Astdys (MPC): bias = 300mas - WFI: ESO (809) bias = 75mas OPD (874) bias = 150mas PdM (586) bias = 150mas CA (493) bias = 150mas SN (J86) bias = 150mas LH (I95) bias = 150mas MLP (Z20) bias = 150mas LLP (J13) bias = 150mas other bias = 300mas - UCAC/other ESO (809) bias = 150mas OPD (874) bias = 225mas PdM (586) bias = 225mas CA (493) bias = 225mas SN (J86) bias = 225mas LH (I95) bias = 225mas MLP (Z20) bias = 225mas LLP (J13) bias = 225mas other bias = 300mas - Fraser: bias = 300mas - Occultation bias = 0mas - Unknown: bias = 300mas The sigma is given by: - Astdys (MPC): weight given by Astdys - ESO (809) sigma = bias - OPD (874) sigma = bias - PdM (586) sigma = bias - CA (493) sigma = bias - SN (J86) sigma = bias - LH (I95) sigma = bias - MLP (Z20) sigma = bias - LLP (J13) sigma = bias - Fraser: sigma = 300mas - Unknown: sigma = 300mas - Occultation sigma = 40mas/75mas version4/ since 7 December 2016 identical to version 3.2 with new exception for offset obs reduced with DR1 bias = 40 + 20 * |yr-2015| (mas) sigma = 20 + 20 * |yr-2015| (mas) Version2 from October 2013, 17 to 25, observations from Pic du Midi have bias and sigma of 150 mas. It only produces minor changes in orbit. ############################ 2014.11.25 #####################################
