Galilean satellites: Observations of mutual occultations and eclipses in 1973
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented preliminary model fits to the light curves of seven Galilean satellite mutual events at three wavelengths (0.35, 0.50 and 0.91 micrometers) with a time resolution of 0.1 sec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galilean satellite mutual occultation data processing
TL;DR: In this article, the mutual occultation lightcurves were obtained using the 60-in. telescope at Mt. Wilson to observe six J1 occulting J2 events and one J3 occulting j2 event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutual phenomena of Jupiter's satellites
TL;DR: In this article, a model of the occultation of Europa by Io is fitted by fitting a light curve with five free parameters, namely the radius of Io, the impact parameter, the brightness ratio of the satellites, the time of midevent and the mean relative velocity.
Dissertation
A surface albedo map of Pluto based on photometry of mutual events
TL;DR: In this article, the surface of Pluto is divided into eleven contiguous panels and a least squares fitting algorithm is used to find the panel albedos that best match the observed lightcurves.
