Scientific paper

Seven proposals for HIPPARCOS concerning 63 minor planets were accepted by ESA. Owing to the motion of these objects, their positions are entered into the Input Catalog as ephemerides. These ephemerides are computed by numerical integration; the initial conditions are published orbital elements. A Chebychev polynomial representation is used for the coordinates and the magnitude of the minor planets. The ephemerides were compared with 500 observations. For some minor planets the O-C are 1.5". For improving the integration constants by least squares method, the observations of three observatories were compared with the observations published by the Minor Planet Center in Cincinnati. The magnitude epheremis is computed by the classical formula, but it is possible to include in rhe program the procedure for calculation of magnitude.
