<p>I'm following <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/0910.2778.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> paper to calculate geocentric coordinates. The authors have provided the initial mean longitude values for the planets (provided in attached table) for  01.01.2000 @ 00.00 UT but I'd like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and some asteroids also. Is there anywhere this information is freely available or did they calculate it? Many thanks.</p>

Where can I get J2000 epoch initial mean longitudes for all planets and celestial bodies?

# Where can I get J2000 epoch initial mean longitudes for all planets and celestial bodies?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-06-27)

I'm following [this](https://arxiv.org/pdf/0910.2778.pdf) paper to calculate geocentric coordinates. The authors have provided the initial mean longitude values for the planets (provided in attached table) for 01.01.2000 @ 00.00 UT but I'd like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and some asteroids also. Is there anywhere this information is freely available or did they calculate it? Many thanks.
