from: J.E. ARLOT et W. THUILLOT Bureau des longitudes URA 707 du CNRS 77 avenue Denfert Rochereau F-75014 PARIS phone: (33) 1 40 51 22 67 / (33) 1 40 51 22 62 fax: (33) 1 46 33 28 34 e mail: arlot@bdl.fr / thuillot@bdl.fr PREDICTIONS OF THE ECLIPSES OF THE SATURNIAN SATELLITES ------------------------------------------------------- This table gives the predictions of the best observable eclipses of the Saturnian satellites occuring during the 1995-1996 period. We give the Terrestrial Time of the mid events (50 pc of light flux drop). UT time is obtained by substracting to these dates the TT-UT value when it is known (61 sec. in 1994). The phenomena are coded as usual (ECD for disappearances and ECR for reappearences and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 are the numbers of satellites Mimas, Enceladus, Thetys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus). The column Begins contains the times of first (or last) contacts of the satellites with the umbra cone for ECD (or ECR). The column Dur. gives the duration of the event in seconds (time elapsed between first and last contact). The columns X Y give the differential position of the satellite at mid event in Saturnian radius (X toward East and Y toward North). The column Dist gives the distance of the satellite from the edge of the planet in arcseconds. Columns Long and Lat contain the value of longitudes and latitudes of the sites where Saturn is at zenith and consequently give the geographic zones where these phenomena are observable under the best conditions. The three last columns give the distances from the Moon, the Sun and the day of the Moon. Note 1. This table is extracted from the paper: Arlot, J.E., Thuillot, W.: 1993, Eclipses and mutual events of the first eight Saturnian satellites during the 1993-1996 period, Icarus 105, 427-440. Note 2. These predictions are a selection made from numerous events which we shall soon put on the phesat95 sub directory of our FTP-Anonymous server whose address is: ftp.bdl.fr -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TT Distance Day Date of Phen.
