Atlas of the Galilean Satellites

2010
Complete color global maps and high-resolution mosaics of Jupiter's four large moons – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto – are compiled for the first time in this important atlas. The satellites are revealed as four visually striking and geologically diverse planetary bodies: Io's volcanic lavas and plumes and towering mountains; Europa's fissured ice ...

Photometric models for Galilean satellite astronomy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1993
Models for the Galilean satellites have been used to determine the distribution of brightness on their surfaces. The results indicate that the distance between a satellite's photocenter and its center‐of‐figure can reach 209 km for Io, 221 km for Europa, 303 km for Ganymede, and 255 km for Callisto. Astrometry of the satellites can achieve much greater

UBV photometry of the Galilean satellites

Icarus, 1975
UBV observations of the Galilean satellites made at Lowell Observatory and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory during 1973 and 1974 are reported. The dependence of brightness on solar phase angle for various faces of each satellite is determined.

Mid-eclipse brightening of the Galilean satellites

Icarus, 1975
Brinkmann (1973) has suggested that the Galilean satellites might briefly manifest a brightening at mid-eclipse due to a concentration of light refracted into the geometric umbra of Jupiter by the atmosphere around the terminator. Results obtained using two different models of the Jovian atmosphere indicate that such a brightening is unlikely even for ...

Spin Orientation of the Galilean Satellites

The four Galilean satellites (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) are locked in a 1:1 spin-orbit resonance. Their rotation axis is assumed to be in a Cassini state, meaning that the rotation axis follows the long-term precession of the orbit normal. The obliquity of the satellites, which is the angular separation between the rotation axis and the orbit
