Notes. Data were taken in May 1982 with the IRTF (Miranda was not part of the study). rhelio is the light-time corrected heliocentric range, Δobs is the range of target centre wrt. the observer, i.e. IRTF, α is the phase angle and “ang-sep” is the apparent angular separation from Uranus. The aspect angle during the measurements was around 163.5° which means that IRTF saw mainly the South-pole region of Uranus and the four satellites.
