Heat flow and thermal state of the crust of the icy Galilean satellites [PDF]
, 2011 The use of lithosphere strength indicators (as for example the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere or the depth to the brittle-ductile transition) can give clues on the surface heat flow and the thermal state of the ice crust of icy satellites,

Librations and Interior Structure of the Galilean Satellites
, 2009 International audienceWe investigate the influence of the interior structure of the Galilean satellites on their rotation variations (or librations). Since the Galilean satellites are significantly aspherical due to rotation and static tides, Jupiter ...

On the Theory of the Galilean Satellites of Jupiter [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974 In this communication the main equations for the variables: radius vector, longitude,PandQ(variables built from Laplace's perihelium first integral) are given in closed form. These equations are used for deriving the equations of a second-order theory.

New evidence of precision premium for Galilean satellites from CCD imaging
, 2007 After a CCD image of the four Galilean satellites of Jupiter is obtained by a long focal length telescope, we can compare the theoretical positions of these satellites with their pixel positions so as to obtain the calibration parameters of the CCD field

New Polarimetric Data for the Galilean Satellites: Io and Ganymede Observations and Modeling
The Planetary Science JournalNew high-precision disk-integrated measurements of the polarization of Io and Ganymede in the UBVRI bands are presented. The observations were obtained using polarimeters mounted on the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and the Peak Terskol Observatory ...

Pwyll and Manannán Craters as a Laboratory for Constraining Irradiation Timescales on Europa
The Planetary Science JournalWe examine high-spatial-resolution Galileo/Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer observations of the young (∼1 My–∼20 My) impact features, Pwyll and Manannán craters, on Europa’s trailing hemisphere in an effort to constrain irradiation timescales.
