Comments.
These positions were reduced using photometric
methods and compared with those calculated theoretically calculated from
GUST86. The observed minus calculated residuals referred to Oberon, have
standard deviations of the order of 0".04 for the four greatest Uranian
satellites and 0".09 for Miranda. These residuals for the four
satellites are better than the most precise found in the literature.
