Scientific paper

The mean densities of nine synchronously orbiting triaxial satellites of
Saturn have been estimated assuming the tidal and rotational distortions
responsible for their actual triaxial figures. Adopting the secular Love
number k(s) = 1.5, the estimates of densities of Prometheus, Pandora.
Epimetheus, Mimas and Enceladus are between 800 and 1300 kg/cu m.
