Scientific paper

During its discovery of the 75-km average diameter Uranian satellite 1985U1, between the epsilon ring and Miranda, Voyager was able to resolve this irregularly shaped satellite in sufficiently great detail to allow the determination of its size, shape, and photometric properties. It is presently noted that 1985U1's albedo, at between 0.07 and 0.09, is both substantially lower than those obtained for the large Uranian satellites and slightly higher than that of the Saturn moon, Phoebe. A V-system opposition magnitude of about +20.5 is conjectured.
