Objectives

  • Astrometric reduction of the remaining ISS-Cassini data,
  • New astrometric reduction of the USNO photographic plates for Saturn,
  • Dynamical fit to astrometric data of Saturnian physical parameters (including tides in Saturn at different frequencies and Enceladus),
  • Interpretation of the results in terms of the orbital and interior evolution of the satellites,
  • Interpretation of ring evolution and formation scenarios,
  • New astrometric reduction of the USNO photographic plates of Jupiter,
  • Dynamical fit to astrometric data of Jovian physical parameters (including tides in Jupiter and Io)
