There are three published gravitational fields for Rhea, and they all differ significantly. All three published fields fit the data equally well, although not to the noise level. There are obvious trends in the Doppler residuals. However, by restricting the data in the fit to a shorter interval surrounding the closest approach to Rhea, an unbiased…
