Integrated software package STAMP for minor planets

The integrated software package STAMP allowed for rapid and exact reproduction of the tables of the year-book 'Ephemerides of Minor Planets.' Additionally, STAMP solved the typical problems connected with the use of the year-book. STAMP is described. The year-book 'Ephemerides of Minor Planets' (EMP) is a publication used in many astronomical institutions around the world. It contains all the necessary information on the orbits of the numbered minor planets. Also, the astronomical coordinates are provided for each planet during its suitable observation period

On the distribution of minor planet inclinations

The distribution of minor planet orbits with inclination to the ecliptic plane and with respect to the Jupiter orbit is studied. Position of the plane considered as the mean plane of the asteroid belt is determined
