The orbits of the main Saturnian satellites, the Saturnian system gravity field, and the orientation of Saturn's pole

RA Jacobson - The Astronomical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Four spacecraft have been sent to investigate the Saturnian system: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1,
Voyager 2, and Cassini. By analyzing data acquired with these spacecraft together with …

Observations of Saturn's ring-plane crossings in August and November 1995

PD Nicholson, MR Showalter, L Dones, RG French… - Science, 1996 - science.org
Observations of Saturn's ring system with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 10 August
1995 Earth crossing and the 17 to 21 November 1995 solar crossing indicate that the F ring …

The orbits of Saturn's small satellites derived from combined historic and Cassini imaging observations

JN Spitale, RA Jacobson, CC Porco… - The Astronomical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on the orbits of the small, inner Saturnian satellites, either recovered or newly
discovered in recent Cassini imaging observations. The orbits presented here reflect …

Coorbital dynamics at large eccentricity and inclination

F Namouni, AA Christou, CD Murray - Physical review letters, 1999 - APS
We show that coorbital dynamics at large eccentricity and inclination exhibit hitherto
unknown types of stable motion in the gravitational three-body problem. In the solar system …

The orbits of the major saturnian satellites and the gravity field of Saturn from spacecraft and Earth-based observations

RA Jacobson - The Astronomical Journal, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We have fitted numerically integrated orbits for the major Saturnian satellites to a large set of
astrometric observations over the time interval 1966 September to 2003 December and to …

New observations of Saturn's coorbital satellites

PD Nicholson, DP Hamilton, K Matthews, CF Yoder - Icarus, 1992 - Elsevier
We present observations of the Saturnian coorbital satellites, Janus and Epimetheus,
obtained with the Caltech Cassegrain infrared camera at the Palomar Hale telescope in July …

Saturn's small satellites: Voyager imaging results

P Thomas, J Veverka, D Morrison… - Journal of …, 1983 - Wiley Online Library
Voyagers 1 and 2 provided images of sufficient resolution for morphologic and photometric
studies of Saturn's small satellites. These objects, all very difficult to observe from earth, orbit …

Findings on rings and inner satellites of Saturn by Pioneer 11

JA Van Allen - Icarus, 1982 - Elsevier
The introductory part of this paper gives a short account of the theory of absorption by
planetary rings and satellites of energetic charged particles that are trapped in a planet's …

Care, feeding, and use of charge-coupled device (CCD) imagers at Palomar Observatory

JE Gunn, JA Westphal - Solid-State Imagers for Astronomy, 1981 - spiedigitallibrary.org

spectroscopy at Palomar. The optical, mechanical, and electronic properties of these chips …

Orbits and masses of Saturn's coorbital and F-ring shepherding satellites

RA Jacobson, RG French - Icarus, 2004 - Elsevier
We have obtained numerically integrated orbits for Saturn's coorbital satellites, Janus and
Epimetheus, together with Saturn's F-ring shepherding satellites, Prometheus and Pandora …
