Does anyone know of a website with an accurate ephemeris where you can plug in a time and get the state vectors (position and velocity) for the sun and all of the planets in a barycentric coordinate system?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
For observer location, use @0 for barycentric or @010 for heliocentric.
There won't be a huge difference between the two.
I find heliocentric more useful.
 
Thanks for the tip. I need barycentric because I am calculating angular momentum and I don't want to have to adjust things for the wobbling of the sun.
