AN ADDITION TO THE YALE TABLES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISTURBING FUNCTION

Abstract

The tables for the development of the disturbing function, published by Brown and Brouwer in 1933, are extended for use in investigating sharp commensurabilities and in computing long period effects in the motions of minor planets with large orbital semi-major axes. The logarithms of the coefficients of cos iS in the expansions of -1 and -3 are tabulated for i = 12 through 24.
