Scientific paper

Positions of the Uranian satellites from 264 photographic plates obtained at the Brazilian 1.6 m reflector are given for the oppositions of 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1985. These positions were compared with those theoretically calculated from orbital parameters determined by Veillet (1983) and Jacobson (1985). The O - C (observed minus calculated) residuals had standard deviation of the order 0.1 arcsec, which is compatible with the orbital parameters used.
