Forthcoming close approaches of Jupiter and Saturn to geodetic radio sources
Abstract
In this paper, a list of apparent close approaches of Jupiter and Saturn to the geodetic radio sources for the years 2008-2050 has been obtained making use of the EPOS software package. We have found 79 events with distance tolerance of 10'', including four occultations of radio sources by Jupiter and one occultation by the Saturn's ring.
