where: a = x, y, d, l1, l2, or µ; t = t1 - t0 (decimal hours), and t0 = 10.000 TDT.
The Besselian elements were derived from a least-squares fit to elements calculated at five uniformly spaced times over a six hour period centered at t0. Thus the Besselian elements are valid over the period 7.00 ≤ t1 ≤ 13.00 TDT.
Note that all times are expressed in Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT).
