Positions of Triton with Sheshan Station telescope

DOI

The large time span and precise observational data of natural satellites is of great significance for updating their ephemerides and studying their dynamic characteristics. With the help of the new image-processing methods and the Gaia DR2 catalog, all CCD images of Triton taken with the 1.56m telescope of Shanghai Astronomical Observatory during 2005-2009 were reanalyzed. The median filtering algorithm is used for image preprocessing to remove the influence of the halo of Neptune, and an upgraded modified moment, called the intensity-square-weighted centroiding method, is applied to determine the centroids of the stars and Triton. A total of 2299 positions of Triton were obtained, including 263 new observed positions and 2036 updated observed positions. Such five-year time span data with high precision will be very helpful to improve the orbit parameters of Triton.
