SATELLITES OF 2003 AZ_84, (50000), (55637), AND (90482)
Mike Brown and T.-A. Suer, California Institute of Technology, have
reported on IAU Circular 8812, their discoveries of four satellites of 
large transneptunian objects from observations with the Hubble Space 
Telescope.

Observations of (55637) 2002 UX_25 on 2005 Aug. 26.64 UT detected a 
satellite that was 2.5 +/- 0.2 mag fainter than the primary at a 
separation of 0".164 +/- 0".003 in p.a. 153 +/- 2 degrees.

Observations of (90482) Orcus on 2005 Nov. 13.13 detected a satellite 
that was 2.7 +/- 1 magnitude fainter than the primary at a separation of 
0".25 +/- 0".01 in p.a. 128 +/- 1 deg.

Observations of 2003 AZ_84 on 2005 Dec. 2.99 detected a satellite that 
was 5.0 +/- 0.3 mag fainter than the primary at a separation of 0".22 
+/- 0".01 in p.a. 321 +/- 2 deg.

Observations of (50000) Quaoar on 2006 Feb. 14.90 detected a satellite 
that was 5.6 +/- 0.2 mag fainter than the primary at a separation of 
0".35 +/- 0".01 in p.a. 110 +/- 1 deg.
