Notes. T0 is the UTC time of the closest approach, x0, y0 are the coordinates of the shadow axis in the fundamental plane at T0 (in Earth’s radius unit), x′,y′ are the rate of change in x and y at T0 (in equatorial Earth’s radius per day), H is the Greenwich Hour Angle of the star at T0 (in degrees), and αs, δs are the right ascension and declination of the star (in degrees).
