Astrometric results of CCD observations of the mutual events of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter from the Vainu Bappu Observatory are presented. 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. The estimated shifts from ~90 km East to ~50 km West on Io and from ~50 km East to ~30 km West for Europa during one orbital period are comparable to the accuracies provided by the present-day ephemerides. In a given mutual event series, the mutual events involving a given satellite pair dominate in number and occur nearly at the same orbital longitude within +/-20 degr ; all the events are therefore delayed or all of them advanced depending on the direction of the shift of the photo-center. The implications of including these cumulative and sustained longitude residuals on the constructed ephemerides are discussed. |
