Milliarcsecond astrometry for the Galilean moons using stellar occultations
BE Morgado, AR Gomes-Júnior… - The Astronomical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
A stellar occultation occurs when a Solar System object passes in front of a star for an
observer. This technique allows the sizes and shapes of the occulting body to be determined …

The photometric observation of the quasi-simultaneous mutual eclipse and occultation between Europa and Ganymede on 22 August 2021
CW So, GHC Luk, GOC Chung, PK Leung, KHK Hui… - Icarus, 2023 - Elsevier
Mutual events (MEs) are eclipses and occultations among planetary natural satellites. Most
of the time, eclipses and occultations occur separately. However, the same satellite pair will …

Dynamics of natural satellites of planets based on observations
NV Emelyanov - Astronomy Reports, 2018 - Springer
There is wide interest in the results of studies of the dynamics of satellites of planets. Such
data are needed to determine the physical properties of celestial bodies, and they may be …
