Abstract

The numerical ephemerides of eight Saturn`s major satellites (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Diona, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus) for the period 1870–2025 are prepared. The satellites motion theories are based on the method of differential correction and numerical integration. The dynamical model includes the mutual perturbations of the satellites, the Sun, the major planets, and Saturn`s oblateness. The coordinates and velosities initial values of the satellites were adjusted using a set of all available optical observational data (1874–2015). The residuals, their root-mean-square and comparison of our ephemerides with those produced by V. Lainey are given. The ephemerides are publicly available.
