================================================================================ Apparent Encounters of the Outermost Satellites of Jupiter Varfolomeev M. I., Emelianov N. V. ================================================================================ Description: The higher accuracy of observations is reached at the periods of apparent encounters of satellites when two satellites fall within the same CCD frame. This paper presents the precalculated circumstances of the apparent encounters of the outermost satellites of Jupiter for the years 2005 through 2010. Ephemerides were divided into six parts, according to periods of Jupiter's observability and placed into tables 3 to 8 where apparent angular distances between two satellites for the beginning of each date are given. Each line contains ephemerides for a single moment of time. Each column (beginning from the 7th) corresponds to a pair of satellites. One column may contain data for different pairs of satellites if their close encounters do no coincide in time. Numbers of satellites, to which apparent angular distances relate, are given in the first line of the column segment. The mutual angular distances between pairs of satellites are given in arcminutes.
