Abstract:
Results are presented of a search in the SAO catalogue for occultations of stars by Saturn's magnetosphere occurring during 1988. The instantaneous apparent position of the star, angle of inclination of the ring plane to the line of sight, and position angle of the projection of the north pole of the planet on the sky plane have been used in the investigation. For each star, the predicted universal time, position angle, and distance of the star from the planet's center in the sky plane at the time of the event are given for occultations at 12.5 and 19 Saturn radii.
