The Orbits of the Inner Uranian Satellites from Hubble Space Telescope and Voyager 2 Observations

Abstract

This article presents revised orbital elements for the 10 small Uranian satellites discovered by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. The elements have been determined from a fit to astrometric observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope and imaging data acquired by Voyager 2. An assessment of the accuracy of the orbits represented by the elements is provided, as are comparisons with orbits found by previous investigators.
