Scientific paper

Improved values for the mass of Ceres and for the orbital elements of Pallas have been derived from 1577 observations and normal places of Pallas 1802 - 1987. The result for the mass of Ceres is 5.21±0.07×10-10solar masses, the true uncertainty is about ±0.3×10-10solar masses. Elements of Pallas as a basis of precise ephemerides for occultation predictions are given for several epochs. From all observational material, no significant correction of the precession constant and the motion of the equinox adopted from the FK5 system is indicated.
