Abstract : The chapters in this circular reflect the six main subject areas described above. Each of the chapters contains a list of the relevant IAU resolutions, a summary of the recommendations, an explanatory narrative, and, in most chapters, a collection of formulas used in implementing the recommendations. The references for all chapters are collected in one bibliography at the end of the circular.

Planetary encounter analysis on the B-plane: a comprehensive formulation
The B-plane is a fundamental tool to analyze planetary encounters of small bodies and spacecraft flybys. In this paper, we review the B-plane formulation with a full derivation of its coordinates and…
