Abstract:

139 CCD images of the Uranian satellite system taken with the Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope in 1990 and 1991 have been calibrated astrometrically with two WFC photographic plates taken on the same telescope in 1996. The numbers of images are: I Ariel 139; II Umbriel 132; III Titania 137; IV Oberon 128; V Miranda 117; total 653. The root-mean-square (rms) fits of the inter-satellite positions to the numerical integration by [#!Tayl:or!#, Taylor (1998)] lie between $0\hbox{$.\!\!^{\prime\prime}$}025$ and $0\hbox{$.\!\!^{\prime\prime}$} 061$ , depending on which two satellites are compared.

Key words: planets and satellites: satellites of Uranus -- observations astrometry

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
