Abstract:
The astrometric positions of eight irregular Jovian satellites are
given for the oppositions of the planet from 1995 to 1999. These
positions were measured on 204 CCD frames obtained at the Cassegrain
focus of a 1.6m reflector. They are compared with the theoretically
calculated positions from JPL Development Ephemeris. The observed
minus-calculated standard deviation for all observations of the eight
satellites are σRA=0.071" and σDE=0.052". The
USNO-A2.0 (I/252) catalog was used for the astrometric calibration.
