Natural Satellites Service. Mutual occultations and eclipses of the major satellites of Uranus in 2006-2010

Natural Satellites Service. Special ephemerides
  Mutual occultations and eclipses
of the major satellites of Uranus
in 2006-2010
 
by N.Emelyanov

Topics
  • We present the ephemerides and circumstances of the mutual occultations and eclipses of the major Uranian satellites in 2006-2010.
  • Photometric observations of these events is an effective tool for obtaining new astrometric data that can help in the refinement of the theory of satellite motion.
  • The mutual occultations and eclipses of the major satellites of Uranus occur at epochs of about 4 years in duration. These epochs follow each 43 years.
  • In 2006-2010 about 190 mutual occultations and eclipses will occur. Maximum of events falls at 2007.
  • Not only predicted events but also apparent encounters of satellites (annulating events) must be observed
    because these encounters predicted with a theory of a limited precision
    may be real mutual occultations or eclipses.
  • The ephemerides of the mutual occultations and eclipses of the major satellites of Uranus in 2006-2010 are presented in four tables according to four periods of visibility of Uranus.
