WORKING GROUP FOR PLANETARY SYSTEM NOMENCLATURE

(NOMENCLATURE DU SYSTEME PLANETAIRE)
  (Committee of the Executive Committee)
 
 
  PRESIDENT: P.M. Millman
 
 
  Establishing an international system of nomenclature for the topographic features on the surfaces of planetary bodies is an exercise that requires assistance from many sources and depends on the cooperation of many individuals. The Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) has five nomenclature task groups reporting to it, and these groups prepare the detailed lists of names for the consideration of the WGPSN, which in turn makes recommendations to the Executive Committee of the IAU. The names of those who have been directly involved in preparing this present report (approved at the 17th General Assembly of the IAU in Montreal, Canada, 1979) are listed in IAU Trans. Vol. 17A, pp. 113-114, 1979. The current membership in the nomenclature groups is listed in this volume, p. .
 
  During the three years following the 16th General Assembly in Grenoble, France the WGPSN has held three meetings:
 
 

• Fourth Meeting - Washington, D.C., U.S.A., June 1 and 2, 1977;
• Fifth Meeting - Innsbruck, Austria, June 2, 1978;
• Sixth Meeting - Montreal, Canada, August 13 and 15, 1979.

In addition to the items reported in IAU Trans. Vol. 17A, pp. 113-114, 1979, the following nomenclature rules and terminology have been approved:

• Commemorative names of persons recently deceased shall not be assigned to topographical features on planetary bodies until after a minimum period of three years from the date of death.

• The following temporary nomenclature shall be used to announce the discovery of new satellites - year/first letter of primary/arabic number - for example, Janus would have been originally announced as 1966 S l. A name should be assigned to a satellite only after the orbit has been uniquely determined. Roman numerals are reserved for established members of satellite system, thus an alternative designation for Janus is S X.

• Five Latin terms have been added to the 25 listed in IAU Trans. Vol. 16B, pp. 321-369, 1977, for use in nomenclature on the surfaces of planetary bodies (plurals are given in brackets)

• FLEXUS (Flexus) a very low curvilinear ridge with a scalloped pattern
• LINEA (Lineae) a dark or bright elongate marking, may be curved or straight
• MACULA (Maculae) a dark spot, may be irregular
• REGIO (Regiones) a large area marked by reflectivity or colour distinctions from adjacent areas
• TERRA (Terrae) a rolling or rough upland area

In addition to the 30 approved Latin terms, referred to above, the following two terms have been generally used in specific cases

• OCEANUS a very large, dark area on the moon
• SOLITUDO a classical, dark-hued albedo feature on Mercury. ----
