What is Albireo ?

Albireo is a program for computation of binary star's ephemeris. It computes the separation and the position angle at given dates. The computation of these ephemeris is based upon seven orbital elements which should be entered carefully in the form below.
Just enter the name of the star, the seven orbital elements and the date you want the ephemeris being computed, and click the button. The result will appear onto your browser window.

The formulas used for the ephemeris are from Paul Couteau, L'observation des étoiles doubles visuelles, Eds. Flammarion, Paris, 1978.
