Subject: Does Anyone Have Center of Mass Data
Hello,

I'm looking for historical Center of Mass (barycenter) data ~ as
deviation from solar center ~. A table with the barycenter into the
future would be awesome. It is for research on business cycles.

Thanks

Thanks. Yes, I'm refering to the barycenter. I was hoping to avoid
calculating itand find a program or data set. I had a dos program
years ago but it is long gone.

I've used astrophysics to predict the market and my father is a full
time trader for 40 + years using it. Here is a great example on the
corn market.

Presumably you are referring to the solar system
barycenter. There are various means of calculating
the positions of the major bodies of the solar
system for given dates. Depending upon the accuracy
required these methods can be simple or complex.

Once you've got the positions for a given instant,
the calculation of the barycenter is simple.

I suggest starting with a copy of Meeus' Astronomical
Algorithms.

On a more skeptical note, "business cycles"? Really?
