The Orbit of Pheobe from Earthbased and Voyager ObservationsThis article presents the results of a fit of a numerically integrated orbit for the Saturnian satellite Pheobe to Earthbased astrometric observations (from 1904 to 1996) and imaging data acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its encounter with Saturn. The primary results are the epoch state vector used in the integration and a set of mean elements which provide a geometrical representation of the orbit. We also assess the quality of the fit and the accuracy of the orbit.
