cds-question@unistra.frsolar-system-planetsastrometryThe Saturnian equinox will occur in 2009; i.e., the Sun (and the Earth, very close to the Sun as seen from Saturn) will be in the equatorial plane of Saturn. Eclipses of the satellites by Saturn or mutual eclipses and occultations will occur among the seven first satellites orbiting in the Saturnian equatorial plane. This paper provides predictions of these events, along with information useful for observing them. Such events are uncommon, since they only occur every 15 years during the Saturnian equinox. The present dynamical models of motion of the Saturnian satellites include many effects on their motion. One needs accurate observations, such as mutual events, to determine all the relevant parameters.2008A&A...485..293Ahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/485/293CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/AJ/103/983 : Stellar occultation candidates of Saturn (Bosh+, 1992)J/A+AS/139/305 : Position of Saturn's satellites (1982-1988) (Veiga+, 1999)J/A+AS/121/65 : 1990-1994 Saturn's satellites astrometry (Harper+ 1997)J/A+A/380/727 : 1995 Saturnian satellite observations (Vienne+, 2001)J/A+A/400/1095 : 1995-1999 CCD observation of Saturnian satellite (Veiga+ 2003)J/A+AS/136/257 : Saturn's satellites in 1995/97 (Harper+ 1999)J/A+A/422/377 : 1997-2000 Saturn's satellites astrometry (Qiao+, 2004)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/485/293https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/485/293http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/485/293https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/485/293https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/485/293http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/485/293GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/A+A/485/293/tab4-7*List of easily observable mutual events occurring from October 2, 2008 to June 18, 2010recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
