erides (IMCCE), Paris, France, and the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI),
Moscow, Russia, led an international observation campaign to record ground-based photomet-
ric observations of Galilean moon mutual occultations and eclipses. We focused on processing
the complete photometric observations data base to compute new accurate astrometric posi-
tions. We used our method to derive astrometric positions from the light curves of the events.We developed an accurate photometric model of mutual occultations and eclipses, while cor-
recting for the satellite albedos, Hapke’s light scattering law, the phase effect, and the limb
darkening. We processed 609 light curves, and we compared the observed positions of the
satellites with the theoretical positions from IMCCE NOE-5-2010-GAL satellite ephemerides
and INPOP13c planetary ephemeris. The standard deviation after fitting the light curve in
equatorial positions is
±
24 mas, or 75 km at Jupiter. The rms (O
−
C) in equatorial positions is
±
50 mas, or 150 km at Jupiter.
