Popis: | Adaptive optics (0.15″ resolution) infrared images of the rings and satellites of Saturn were obtained in August 1995 as the Earth was crossing the ring plane. Twelve clumps were detected in the F ring, including HST S5 and S7 objects. For the first time H magnitudes were obtained for Prometheus, Pandora, Telesto, and Calypso, and J magnitudes for Epimetheus, Janus, Mimas, Telesto, and Helene. |
