Jupiter and Saturn Rotation Periods
Anderson & Schubert (2007, Science, 317, 1384) proposed that Saturn’s rotation period can be ascertained by minimizing the dynamic heights of the 100 mbar isosurface with respect to the geoid; they derived a rotation period of 10h 32m 35s. We investigate the same approach for Jupiter to see if the Jovian rotation period is predicted by minimizing the dynamical heights of its isobaric (1 bar pre...

متن کاملOn the Rotation Period of (90377) Sedna
We present precise, ∼ 1%, r-band relative photometry of the unusual solar system object (90377) Sedna. Our data consist of 143 data points taken over eight nights in October 2004 and January 2005. The RMS variability over the longest contiguous stretch of five nights of data spanning nine days is only ∼ 1.3%. This subset of data alone constrain the amplitude of any long-period variations with p...
متن کاملThe Short Rotation Period of Nereid
We determine the period, p = 11.52± 0.14 h, and a light curve peak-to-peak amplitude, a = 0.029 ± 0.003 magnitudes, of the Neptunian irregular satellite Nereid. If the light curve variation is due to albedo variations across the surface, rather than solely to the shape of Nereid variations, the rotation period would be a factor of two shorter. In either case, such a rotation period and light cu...
متن کاملInfluence of the coorbital resonance on the rotation of the Trojan satellites of Saturn
The Cassini spacecraft collects high resolution images of the saturnian satellites and reveals the surface of these new worlds. The shape and rotation of the satellites can be determined from the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem data, employing limb coordinates and stereogrammetric control points. This is the case for Epimetheus (Tiscareno et al. 2009) that opens elaboration of new rotational ...
