CCD astrometry of Saturn's satellites 1990-1994
Abstract
In this paper, we publish 1206 measurements of positions of the major satellites of Saturn made in 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1994 using CCD detectors attached to the 1-metre Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope on the island of La Palma. Analysis of the data as inter-satellite positions shows that the observations of Tethys, Dione, Rhea and Titan have root-mean-square residuals of 0.08", corresponding to 500 km at the distance of Saturn. Tables 6--9 are only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp 130.79.128.5
