Recent observations with the Wide-Field Planetary Camera (WFPC-2) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) show an unexpectedly rapid change in the atmospheric albedo contrast between the north and south hemispheres. In 1994 at blue wavelengths, the north was around 15% brighter than the south, and was e

We obtained four images of the asteroid 4179 Toutatis during its close approach to the Earth on 10 December 1992 with the planetary camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. The distance between the Earth and Toutatis at the time of our observations was \(0.0291 \mathrm{AU}\left(4.35 \times 10^{6} \math
From diffraction-limited images produced by the near-IR camera NICMOS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope we derived maps of Titan's surface in the methane windows near 1.1, 1.6, and 2.0 Β΅m. Each part of Titan's atmosphere and surface was imaged at least twice over a time period of 24 h to look for mo
Photometric properties of 4 rings and 16 satellites of Uranus are presented, based on 41 Hubble Space Telescope images taken in 1997. Up to 25 filters per object covered the wavelength range 0.27-2 Β΅m. The whole range of phase angles observable from Earth (0.03-3 β’ ) was probed. Reflectivities were
