This form enables you to generate a Postscript file showing the east-west motion of the Martian satellites within a specified time period. The distance of each selected moon from the planet's axis is plotted in units of either arcsec or Martian radii. In the diagram, the limbs of Mars are indicated by a dark gray stripe down the middle.
Time increases downward on the plot.
The file contains a single header line followed by the numbers. If you want the gory details of how times are interpreted, click here . Enter the time interval to be used for the tabulation as a number in the box, and select the time unit from the choices provided. Start times and intervals are rounded to the nearest minute. Currently, the Martian Moon Tracker can use one of two different ephemerides.
