Orbits and resonances of the regular moons of Neptune

Marina Brozović, Mark R. Showalter, Robert A. Jacobson +3

We report integrated orbital fits for the inner regular moons of Neptune based on the most complete astrometric data set to date, with observations from Earth-based telescopes, Voy…

New Jupiter Satellites and Moon-Moon Collisions

Scott Sheppard, Gareth Williams, David Tholen +7

We report the discovery of 12 new satellites of Jupiter, giving Jupiter 79 known satellites. The new finds are between 23rd-24th mag in the r-band and 1-3 km in diameter assuming d…

New constraints on Saturn's interior from Cassini astrometric data

Valéry Lainey, Robert A. Jacobson, Radwan Tajeddine +15

Using astrometric observations spanning more than a century and including a large set of Cassini data, we determine Saturn's tidal parameters through their current effects on the o…

The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons

S. A. Stern, F. Bagenal, K. Ennico +148

The Pluto system was recently explored by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, making closest approach on 14 July 2015. Pluto's surface displays diverse landforms, terrain ages, albedos…

Astrometry of Cassini with the VLBA to Improve the Saturn Ephemeris

Dayton L. Jones, William M. Folkner, Robert A. Jacobson +4

Planetary ephemerides have been developed and improved over centuries. They are a fundamental tool for understanding solar system dynamics, and essential for planetary and small bo…

Constraints on MOND theory from radio tracking data of the Cassini spacecraft

A. Hees, W. M. Folkner, R. A. Jacobson +1

The MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is an attempt to modify the gravitation theory to solve the Dark Matter problem. This phenomenology is very successful at the galactic level.…

VLBA Astrometric Observations of the Cassini Spacecraft at Saturn

D. L. Jones, E. Fomalont, V. Dhawan +5

The planetary ephemeris is an essential tool for interplanetary spacecraft navigation, studies of solar system dynamics (including, for example, barycenter corrections for pulsar t…
