Abstract

The Cassini spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn since 2004 returning images of satellites with astrometric resolution as high as few hundreds of meters. The images that were taken by the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of Image Science Subsystem (ISS) instrument on board Cassini, were used in this work for the purpose of astrometry. We applied the same method that was previously developed to reduce Cassini NAC images of Mimas and Enceladus. We provide 5240 astrometric positions in right ascension and declination of the satellites: Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Iapetus, and Phoebe, using images that were taken by Cassini NAC between 2004 and 2012. Mean residuals compared to the JPL ephemeris SAT365 are of the order of hundreds of meters with standard deviations of the order of few kilometers. Frequency analysis of the residuals shows the remaining non-modeled effects of satellites on others.
