5 3.78 × 10−2 2.79 × 10−1 3.32 × 10−2

Notes. The residuals are compared between three configurations: fourth order and second order polynomials used over the whole duration of the close encounter (i.e. 60 min: [tc − 30min;tc + 30min]) and second order polynomial over a reduced interval centred on the central instant (only 30 min: [tc − 15 min;tc + 15 min]). Results are reported for five mutual approximations.
