On September 21, 1998, the outer jovian satellites Himalia (J6), Elara (J7), Carme (J11), Pasiphae (J8), and Sinope (J9) were detected in the J, H, and K s bandpasses in the course of the Two-Micron All Sky Survey. Similarities in near-infrared colors are consistent with the hypothesis that the oute

We report the first absolutely calibrated photometry of nine saturnian satellites beyond 1.0 ยตm, in canonical near-infrared filters, including the first such spectrum of the leading side of Enceladus. The satellites were observed during Ring Plane Crossing in August and September of 1995 with the NS
