de Sitter's theory flattens Jupiter
Abstract
The discrepancy between values of Jupiter's dynamic oblateness as measured by space probes and via 1971 beta Sco occultations is re-examined. The indicated correction to the Io ephemeris is compared to corrections proposed by Aksnes and Franklin (1975, 1976). It is found that the latter corrections reduce the above discrepancy to a marginal level.
