cds-question@unistra.frsolar-system-planetsoccultationWe present a list of 203 potential occultations by Saturn and its rings of stars from the Hubble Space Telescope Guide Star Catalog (GSC), during the years 1991-1999. Because the GSC is not a complete catalog, this is not an exhaustive list of Saturn occultations. In particular, stars brighter than magnitude 8 are not included. However, this list does include many fainter candidates than do current occultation candidate lists for Saturn; these fainter stars also can provide a high signal-to-noise ratio if observed with a large telescope or in the infrared where Saturn and its rings have absorption bands. We list the occultation circumstances, as well as star information found in the GSC.1992AJ....103..983Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/103/983CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+AS/139/47 : 1995 Saturnian satellites mutual events (Emelianov+, 1999)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/103/983https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/103/983http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/103/983https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/103/983https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/103/983http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/103/983GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/103/983/table1 (Saturn occultation candidates: Geocentric circumstances for closet approach)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/103/983/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/103/983/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/103/983/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true305.7882083-19.61466670.0055555555555555565/4566 6/183 188-189 218 226 228-229 17386-17387 17399 18047 18062 18074-18075 18078 18080-18081 18084 18128-18129 18133 18217-18220 18251 18254-18255 18262 18268 18487 18493 18523 18530-18534 18544 18562-18563 18695 18706-18709 18752 48559 48569-48570 48572 48591 48599-48602 48604 48701-48703 48739 48741-48745 48752 48897-48901https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/103/983?format=asciidefaultJ/AJ/103/983/table1Saturn occultation candidates: Geocentric circumstances for closet approachrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
