Scientific paper

Semi-analytical solutions for the variations in time of the eccentricities and longitudes of the pericenter are developed as part of a complete semi-analytical theory for the motion of the Uranian satellites. All the long and short period variations of these elements, up to the order of 10-5, are considered. The results show that the oscillations around the mean value obtained by other authors through the analysis of the observations of Uranus' system, are significant. A discussion on the importance of the determination of osculating orbital elements, in order to obtain integration constants consistent with the real movement of Uranian satellites, is presented.
