AUTHORS :  J. Chapront, G. Francou

CONTENTS :

    Tables of Pluto (1700-2100) version 95.
    Pluto's motion has been represented with series resulting of an
    approximation by frequency analysis of JPL numerical integration DE200.
    Series represent the heliocentric coordinates of Pluto as functions
    of time between 1700 and 2100.
    The method allows to compute ephemerides of Pluto with the aid of compact
    tables and keeps accuracy of published ephemerides.

    Application to the five outer planets.
