Saturn

The ecliptic longitude of Saturn can be determined with the aid of Tables 54-56. Table 54 allows the mean longitude, $\bar{\lambda}$, and the mean anomaly, $M$, of Saturn to be calculated as functions of time. Next, Table 55 permits the equation of center, $q$, and the radial anomaly, $\zeta$, to be determined as functions of the mean anomaly. Finally, Table 56 allows the quantities $\delta\theta_-$, $\bar{\theta}$, and $\delta\theta_+$ to be calculated as functions of the epicyclic anomaly, $\mu$. The procedure for using the tables is analogous to the previously described procedure for using the Mars tables. One example of this procedure is given below.

 
Example: May 5, 2005 CE, 00:00 UT:
 
From before, $t-t_0=1\,950.5$ JD, $\lambda_S = 44.602^\circ$, $M_S\simeq 120^\circ$, and $\zeta_S= -8.56\times 10^{-3}$. Making use of Table 54, we find:
     
$t$(JD) $ \bar{\lambda}(^\circ)$ $M(^\circ)$
     
+1000 $33.508$ $33.482$
+900 $30.157$ $30.133$
+50 $1.675$ $1.674$
+.5 $0.017$ $0.017$
Epoch $50.059$ $317.857$
  $115.416$ $383.163$
Modulus $115.416$ $23.163$
     

Given that $M\simeq 23^\circ$, Table 55 yields

\begin{displaymath}
q(23^\circ)= 2.561^\circ,\mbox{\hspace{0.5cm}}\zeta(23^\circ)=4.913\times 10^{-2}.
\end{displaymath}

Thus,

\begin{displaymath}
\mu=\lambda_S - \bar{\lambda}-q = 44.602-115.416 -2.561= -73.375\simeq
287^\circ,
\end{displaymath}

where we have rounded the epicylic anomaly to the nearest degree. It follows from Table 56 that

\begin{displaymath}
\delta\theta_-(287^\circ) = -0.353^\circ,\mbox{\hspace{0.5cm...
...\mbox{\hspace{0.5cm}}\delta\theta_+(287^\circ) = -0.405^\circ.
\end{displaymath}

Now,

\begin{displaymath}
z= (1-\zeta)/(1-\zeta_S) = (1-4.913\times 10^{-2})/(1+8.56\times 10^{-3}) =
0.9428.
\end{displaymath}

However, from Table 44, $\bar{z}= 1.00118$ and $\delta z = 0.07059$, so

\begin{displaymath}
\xi = (\bar{z}-z)/\delta z = (1.00118-0.9428)/0.07059 \simeq 0.83.
\end{displaymath}

According to Table 45,

\begin{displaymath}
\Theta_-(0.83) = 0.071, \mbox{\hspace{0.5cm}}\Theta_+(0.83) = 0.759,
\end{displaymath}

so

\begin{displaymath}
\theta = \Theta_-\,\delta\theta_- + \bar{\theta}+\Theta_+\,\...
...+ = -0.071\times 0.353-5.551-0.759\times 0.405 =- 5.883^\circ.
\end{displaymath}

Finally,

\begin{displaymath}
\lambda=\bar{\lambda} + q + \theta= 115.416+2.561-5.883=112.094 \simeq 112^\circ 06'.
\end{displaymath}

Thus, the ecliptic longitude of Saturn at 00:00 UT on May 5, 2005 CE was 22CN06.

The conjunctions, oppositions, and stations of Saturn can be investigated using analogous methods to those employed earlier to examine the conjunctions, oppositions, and stations of Mars. We find that the mean time period between successive oppositions or conjunctions of Saturn is 1.035 yr. Furthermore, on average, the retrograde and direct stations of Saturn occur when the epicyclic anomaly takes the values $\mu=114.5^\circ$ and $245.5^\circ$, respectively. Finally, the mean time period between a retrograde station and the following opposition, or between the opposition and the following direct station, is 69 JD. The conjunctions, oppositions, and stations of Saturn during the years 2000-2010 CE are shown in Table 57.
