Abstract:
This paper give positions of Martian satellites system from CCD
observations obtained at the Cassegrain focus of a 1.6m reflector for
the years 1995 and 2003.
Description:
These positions were reduced using the scale and orientation
parameters, determined from star field positions of Uranus and Pluto
systems' observations that were made in the same night as Mars
observations.
