Pluto95

This Applet permits to calculate positions and velocities of Pluto between Jan 01 1700 0h and Jan 24 2100 0h.

Date and hour input :
Separators can be any non numerical digit.
Examples of valid input :
for date : "12/13/2004" or "1/25/1995".
for hour : "12h40m15s", "12:40", "12", "12.40.00".

About
This Applet embeds Pluto95.java, a class calculating pluto coordinates, based on the work of J. Chapront and G. Francou, Bureau des Longitudes, France. The original work can be found at ftp://ftp.bdl.fr/pub/ephem/planets/pluto95/.
From this directory, the files Pluto.doc and Pluto.sub were used to build Pluto95.java.

The reference frame is defined with dynamical equinox and equator J2000 (DE200).
The time scale is Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB).
See Pluto95.java source code comments and original files for more information.
