Title: Kepler's Constant and WDS Orbit Authors: S. Siregar, R. N. Pratama The aim of this work are to find a Kepler's constant by using polynomial regression of the angular separation ho = ho(t) and the position angle \theta = \theta(t). The Kepler's constant obtained is used to derive the eleme...
