Аннотация:Photometric measurements performed at the time of mutual occultations and eclipses of planetary satellites are an effective approach in satellite observation. Observations of these rare phenomena are highly informative. Saturn's satellites were observed at the time of their mutual occultations and eclipses in 1995 at the Crimean Laboratory of the Sternberg State Astronomical Institute (CL SAI) and at the Fesenkov Astrophys- ical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan (FAI). At the CL SAI, observations were carried out with a photoelectric photometer, whereas satellite images were obtained at the FAI with the aid of a CCD detector. In both cases, the total-brightness curves for satellite pairs were obtained. In this work, we present the results of observations of three phenomena. The processing of photometric observations at the time of mutual occultations and eclipses of planetary satellites on the basis of the developed model of these phe- nomena made it possible to obtain astrometric information. The apparent positions of one satellite relative to the other were calculated with an accuracy of 0.0020.03. These relative satellite coordinates are presented in the paper. We describe the observing conditions and give all parameters that characterize the observed events.
