Theory of the rotation of the Galilean satellites [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 AbstractAs most of the natural satellites of the Solar System, the Galilean moons are since a long time assumed to be tidally locked in a spin-orbit synchronous resonance. Thanks to the mission Galileo, we now dispose of enough gravity data to perform 3-dimensional theories of the rotation of these satellites, in particular to model the departure from ...

Galilean satellite ephemerides E5 [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 1998 New ephemerides of Jupiter's Galilean satellites are produced from an analysis of CCD astrometric data, Voyager-mission optical navigation images, mutual event observations, photographic plates, and eclipse timing observations. The resulting parameters, for use in the galsat computer software, are in the B1950 frame for use by the Galileo space mission.

The Galilean Satellites Formed Slowly from Pebbles [PDF]
, 2019 It is generally accepted that the four major (Galilean) satellites formed out of the gas disk that accompanied Jupiter's formation. However, understanding the specifics of the formation process is challenging, as both small particles (pebbles) and the ...

Photophoresis in the circumjovian disk and its impact on the orbital configuration of the Galilean satellites [PDF]
, 2019 Jupiter has four large regular satellites called the Galilean satellites: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The inner three of the Galilean satellites orbit in a 4:2:1 mean motion resonance; therefore their orbital configuration may originate from the ...

Coordinates of features on the Galilean satellites [PDF]
, 1980 Control nets of the four Galilean satellites, established photogrammetrically from pictures taken by the two Voyager spacecraft during their flybys of Jupiter in 1979, are discussed.

Probing Ganymede’s Atmosphere with HST Lyα Images in Transit of Jupiter
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We report results from far-ultraviolet observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, transiting across the planet’s dayside hemisphere.

Galilean Satellites and the Galileo Space Mission [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1997 AbstractThe Galileo spacecraft arrived at Jupiter in December 1995 to start its two-year mission of exploring the Jovian system. The spacecraft will complete eleven orbits around Jupiter and have ten more close encounters with the outer three Galilean satellites, after the initial close approach to Io on December 7, 1995.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The detection of satellites around extrasolar planets, so called exomoons, remains a largely unexplored territory. In this work, we study the potential of detecting these elusive objects from radial velocity monitoring of self-luminous, directly imaged ...

Mass-wasting Features on Galilean Icy Moons: Morphological Analysis and Implications
The Planetary Science JournalThis study investigates mass-wasting features on the icy Galilean satellites Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Through comparative morphological analysis, we identified and classified slides, slumps, and flow-like deposits as mass-wasting categories using ...
