Abstract

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