Bill, I've noticed from your web pages and on here that findorb gives a U value for orbits of planetary
satellites (natural and artificial).
Can you comment on how these compare with the U values for regular minor planets.
Also, especially for the outer satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, is there a U value which roughly corresponds with a numbered status (i.e. the orbit is well determined?). I'm interested as hopefully in a few years many of these objects will have their orbits reach this level of accuracy. Then people can study how stable thay are, whether Saturn has a major influence etc etc!
Thanks!
Andrew
