Series VIII. Manuscript Calculations

Scope and content:

This series consists of calculations used in Herrick's studies of minor planets and objects. It includes materials such as shock waves of Icarus calculations, Project 15, minor planets and objects, perturbations, geophysical constraints and correction methods, collection of formulae, and ephemeral calculations.

Arrangement:

This series largely maintains the order it was received. Materials relating to Halley's Comet and (1566) Icarus have been grouped together for ease of use.
