Sorry! There were NO sudden orbit changes for Ajisai, Starlette and Stella at MJD 51622.10! Although the time bias functions showed disconcertingly similar discontinuities which I could not explain otherwise, in my panic I failed to spot the fact that all the discrepant points were from one station! Later in the night it became clear that data from other stations all conformed to the `old´ TBFs. Apologies for the excitement - Sunday afternoons are not my best time for clear thinking! It also seems that there has been no unusual solar activity - and I really thought that I had found something interesting.....
