High Resolution Dione and Tethys Atlases derived from Cassini-ISS images

Kurzfassung

The Cassini Imaging Science Sub-system (ISS) acquired many high-resolution im-ages (less than 1 km/pixel) during close flybys of Dione and Tethys in 2005 and 2007. We combined these images with lower-resolution coverage and a few images taken by Voyager cameras to produce high-resolution semi-controlled mosaics of Dione and Tethys. These global mosaics are the baseline for high-resolution Dione and Tethys atlases that consist of 15 tiles each mapped at a scale of 1: 1,000,000. A few exam-ples of these map tiles will be shown in this presentation. The nomenclature used in this atlas was suggested by the Cassini-ISS team and approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The whole atlases is available to the public through the Imaging Team's website (http://ciclops.org/maps/) and from the Planetary Data Ssytem (PDS, http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/).
