Table 3: INPOP05 (Col. 5) residuals for each type of observations. Column 3 gives the time interval of observations and Col. 4 the number N of observations used in the fit and in the residual computations. For optical observations, the residuals are given respectively in right ascension and declination ($\alpha $; $\delta $). The given uncertainties are at 1-sigma.
