TLDR
Astrometric positions for the Galilean satellites are derived from high-precision timings of their jovian eclipses observed with CCD cameras between 1990 to 1993, and the positions are compared to Lieske's E-3 ephemeris as mentioned in this paper.About:

New accurate ephemerides for the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. I. Numerical integration of elaborated equations of motion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new theory of the four Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, which is based on the numerical integration of elaborated equations of motion.

A Comprehensive Orbit Reconstruction for the Galileo Prime Mission in the J2000 System
TL;DR: In this article, the ICRF was adopted as the reference frame of the current JPL planetary and satellite ephemerides as well as the standard frame for the international astronomical and planetary science community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jovian satellite positions from Hubble Space Telescope images
TL;DR: In this article, an accurate technique has been developed for measuring planetocentric positions of Jupiter's satellites from Wide Field/Planetary Camera images using a model ellipse generated from the physical ephemeris of the planet including its phase defect.

Astrometry from CCD photometry of mutual events of Jovian satellites from VBO during 1997
TL;DR: Astrometric results of CCD observations of the mutual events of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter from the Vainu Bappu Observatory are presented in this paper, where the shifts in the photo-centers on the disks of Io and Europa due to albedo variations inferred from the available mosaics of Galileo imagery are determined.

Predictions of the events of the satellites of Saturn during the 2009 equinox
J. E. Arlot,W. Thuillot +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the best theoretical models of the motion of the satellites, since the prediction of events is very sensitive to the accuracy of the relative calculated positions of the satellite.

Stellar and spacecraft occultations by Jupiter: a critical review of derived temperature profiles.
D. M. Hunten,J. Veverka +1 more
TL;DR: The basic ideas involved in the processing of occultation data are reviewed, with emphasis on sources of uncertainty as discussed by the authors, and the results from the beta Scorpii event are discussed in detail, and those from Pioneers 10 and 11 in as much detail as possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light curve model for the Galilean satellites during Jovian eclipse
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the light curve of a Galilean satellite eclipsed by Jupiter's shadow is developed, which allows center-of-figure information on the satellite's position to be derived from photometric eclipse data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photometric models for Galilean satellite astronomy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented tables of photocentric offsets for the Galilean satellites as functions of orbital longitude and solar phase angle, and estimated accuracy of these corrections is 32 km for Io, 45 km for Europa, 49 km for Ganymede, and 40 km for Callisto, but the latter two may be optimistic.
