In September 2010 Jupiter and Uranus passed each other on the sky. This allowed our team to easily recover many Jovian and Uranian irregular satellites with uncertain orbits. In addition to the planned recoveries, our observations revealed two previously undetected Jovian irregular satellites. Jacobson et al. [3] and Veillet et al. [7] provided the discovery data for S/2010 J 1 and S/2010 J 2, respectively. Follow up observations in October 2010 to January 2011 indicates that these are 1 km objects on bound retrograde orbits. However, the fitted orbits are still too uncertain to determine which, if any, satellite group these additional satellites belong to [2]. We will obtain additional observations in July and August 2011, allowing us to present accurate orbital and grouping information.
