Near-Infrared Photometry of Irregular Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn
We present JHK s photometry of 10 Jovian and 4 Saturnian irregular satellites, taken with the Near-InfraRed Imager (NIRI) at the 8-m Gemini North Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The observed objects have near-infrared colors consistent with C, P and D-type asteroids, although J XII Ananke and S IX Phoebe show weak indications of possible water features in the H filter. The four members of the...
متن کاملOn the orbits of the outer satellites of Jupiter
In this work we study the basic aspects concerning the stability of the outer satellites of Jupiter. Including the effects of the four giant planets and the Sun we study a large grid of initial conditions. Some important regions where satellites cannot survive are found. Basically these regions are due to Kozai and other resonances. We give an analytical explanation for the libration of the per...
متن کاملVisible Spectral Reflectance Measurements of the Galilean Satellites of Jupiter
New spectral reflectance measurements of the Galilean satellites of' Jupiter were obtained in November, 1975 at the 224 cm. telescope at Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii. A prism spectrograph with a silicon vidicon detector was used in the spectral region 0.3-1.06 pm. These new measurements are of a higher wavelength resolution than previous measurements. The results are compared with earlier meas...
متن کاملA Region Void of Irregular Satellites around Jupiter
An interesting feature of the giant planets of our solar system is the existence of regions around these objects where no irregular satellites are observed. Surveys have shown that, around Jupiter, such a region extends from the outermost regular satellite Callisto to the vicinity of Themisto, the innermost irregular satellite. To understand the reason for the existence of such a satellite–void...
متن کاملGalileo's First Images of Jupiter and the Galilean Satellites
The first images of Jupiter, Io, Europa, and Ganymede from the Galileo spacecraft reveal new information about Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) and the surfaces of the Galilean satellites. Features similar to clusters of thunderstorms were found in the GRS. Nearby wave structures suggest that the GRS may be a shallow atmospheric feature. Changes in surface color and plume distribution indicate di...
