54* Notes:
55* - The PV 6-vector can be with respect to any chosen inertial frame,
56* and the resulting universal-element set will be with respect to
57* the same frame. A common choice will be mean equator and ecliptic
58* of epoch J2000.
59* - The mass, PMASS, is important only for the larger planets. For
60* most purposes (e.g. asteroids) use 0D0. Values less than zero
61* are illegal.
62* - The "universal" elements are those which define the orbit for the
63* purposes of the method of universal variables (see reference).
64* They consist of the combined mass of the two bodies, an epoch,
65* and the position and velocity vectors (arbitrary reference frame)
66* at that epoch. The parameter set used here includes also various
67* quantities that can, in fact, be derived from the other
68* information. This approach is taken to avoiding unnecessary
69* computation and loss of accuracy. The supplementary quantities
70* are (i) alpha, which is proportional to the total energy of the
71* orbit, (ii) the heliocentric distance at epoch, (iii) the
72* outwards component of the velocity at the given epoch, (iv) an
73* estimate of psi, the "universal eccentric anomaly" at a given
74* date and (v) that date.
