Abstract
MINOR PLANETS.—Vol. 9, No 9 of the Journal des Observateurs, contains a study of the orbit of No. 117 Lomia by M. Henri Blondel. This covers the period from 1913 to 1925, and includes the perturbations by Jupiter and Saturn. A good agreement with observation is obtained. It is noted that observations over a period of some four months are required to obtain a good orbit from a single opposition. It is suggested that ephemerides should be extended over a longer range than is usually done.
