Table 6: INPOP06 (Col. 5) residuals for each type of observation. Column 3 gives the observational time interval and Col. 4 the number of observations N 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 uncertainties are at 1-sigma.
