The expression for \(\cos {i}\) at the beginning of Section 4 is incorrect; the correct formula is:

$$\begin{aligned} \cos {i}=\frac{1+U\cos \theta }{\sqrt{1+2U\cos \theta +U^2\left( 1-\sin ^2 \theta \sin ^2\phi \right) }}. \end{aligned}$$

At the end of the same section, after the formula for \(\varOmega \), add the following sentence:

Note that in this case \(\lambda _p\) is the longitude of the planet at time \(t_b\).
