================================================================================ file 1985-1987_S12_veiga.data.txt ================================= Contents: - 18 observations made from 1985 March 30 to June 11 - 4 observations made from 1987 July 16 to Aug. 14 Astrometric photographic positions of the Saturnian satellite Helene obtained from 22 plates taken in 6 nights are presented. The observations are distributed between 5 missions in 1985 and 1987. All positions are compared with those calculated by Jacobson (1999, personal communication). The residuals have mean and standard deviation smaller than 0.25" and 0.30" respectively. Reference: Veiga C.H., Vieira Martins R.: 2000, Astrometric photographic observations of Helene, Astron.
