S/2007 S 1, S/2007 S 2, and S/2007 S 3
Abstract
Further to IAUC 8727, S. S. Sheppard, D. C. Jewitt, and J. Kleyna have reported the discovery of three new satellites of Saturn in data obtained earlier this year with the Subaru 8.2-m reflector at Mauna Kea, aided by B. G. Marsden's ongoing linkages and search ephemerides. The astrometry and orbital data appear on MPECs 2007-G38 and 2007-J09, showing orbital periods of 895, 793, and 992 days for S/2007 S 1, S/2007 S 2, and S/2007 S 3, respectively; the latter two objects have retrograde orbits.
