Scientific paper

A new theory for the motion of Phobos which was developed on the basis of ground-based observations (1877-1986) and measurements taken aboard Mariner-9 (1971-1972) and Viking-1, -2 (1976-1980) is presented. The analytical method considers perturbations due to the gravitational field of Mars and the sun up to the second order of the oblateness perturbations. The gravitational field model proposed by Christensen and Balmino is in good agreement with the observational data.
