Abstract
Adaptive optics (0.15 " resolution) infrared images of the rings and satell
ites of Saturn were obtained in August 1995 as the Earth was crossing the r
ing plane, Twelve clumps were detected in the F ring, including HST S5 and
S7 objects. For the first time H magnitudes were obtained for Prometheus, P
andora, Telesto, and Calypso, and J magnitudes for Epimetheus, Janus, Mimas
, Telesto, and Helene. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
