NEOCP Explorer v3.1
Renamed from "NEO Tracker" to NEOCP Explorer, with important fixes to the
orbit determination.
Fixes
- No more false "interstellar object" flags. The Find_Orb query now forces
heliocentric elements (element_center=0). Previously, short-arc near-Earth
NEOCP objects returned a geocentric solution ("Perigee"/"J2000 equator")
whose eccentricity is relative to Earth (e ≫ 1), raising a false interstellar
alarm and hiding the real Earth MOID / Earth-crossing detection. - Negative semi-major axis handled correctly for genuinely hyperbolic
heliocentric orbits (a < 0), now classified as "Hyperbolic / unbound".
Improvements
- Eccentricity now shows its uncertainty (e ± σ) and flags poorly constrained
(short-arc) orbits. The hyperbolic/interstellar alarm only fires when the
hyperbolic excess is statistically significant (e − 3σ > 1).
