Description:
The file innerjov.dat contains 236 intersatellite positions of the
inner Jovian moons Thebe, Amalthea, Adrastea and Metis derived from
the observations made with the 2-m Zeiss RCC telescope of Terskol
Observatory (Terskol peak, Northern Caucasus, long=42.50083°,
lat=43.27427°, h=3100m) in October-November 1999 and in November
2000. The Two-Channel Focal Reducer of the Max-Planck Institute for
Aeronomy (MPAe,Germany) was used for acquisition of the images. We
provide δ(α) and δ(δ) of Thebe and Amalthea
with respect to the Galilean satellites, while the positions of
Adrastea and Metis are referred to either the Galilean moons or to
Thebe or Amalthea. Astrometric topocentric coordinates J2000.0 of the
Galilean satellites were used for scale and orientation angle
determination. The array scale was corrected for differential
refraction and differential aberration to first-order.
