Dynamics of Co-orbital Satellites

In the Spring of 2003 we were visited by Dr Fathi Namouni, formerly at Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado, USA, and presently at Observatoire de Côte d'Azur, Nice, France. The visit stimulated a new research collaboration between Apostolos Christou, Fathi Namouni (Nice, France), and Maria Helena Moreira Morais (Observatório Astronómico de Coimbra, Santa Clara, Portugal), aimed at understanding the stability properties of the co-orbital satellites of Saturn using large-scale numerical integrations with the MERCURY code. An expressed objective of this effort is to place constraints on, or to predict the existence of, such objects sharing the orbits of the classical satellites (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan) in advance of the Cassini orbiter's arrival at the Saturn system in the summer of 2004.
