Hi, it seems to me that the tropical position of an asteroid is always 0.
Example code:
let date = try? Date("2023-02-17T16:52:00Z", strategy: .iso8601)
let bodyCoordinate = Coordinate<Asteroid>(body: .chiron , date: date!)
// Position of Chiron at 17-Feb-2023, 16:52 [UT/GMT]
// According to Astro.com, it should be 13 ♈︎ 18'10"
// Int(bodyCoordinate.tropical.degree) returns 0, expecting 13
// Int(bodyCoordinate.tropical.minute) returns 0, expecting 18
// bodyCoordinate.tropical.value = 0
// same results for pholus, ceres
// sidereal returns some values
