Mutual phenomena of Jupiter's satellites in 1973-74.

Discussion of a program draft for worldwide observations of mutual occultations and eclipses of the Jovian satellites. The purpose of the observations planned for 1973 and 1974 is to obtain light curves of these events with a relative photometric accuracy of no less than 1%. A time table of the anticipated events is included.

Mutual coupling between circular waveguide-fed apertures in a rectangular ground plane

A method is presented whereby the infinite ground plane analytical model for the self-admittance and mutual admittance of waveguide-fed apertures can be supplemented (using the geometrical theory of diffraction) to include the edge effects of a rectangular ground plane. The H-plane coupling between two TE-11 mode excited circular apertures is calculated and compared with measurements.

Galilean satellites - Observations of mutual occultations and eclipses in 1973

Seven Galilean satellite mutual events, two occultations and two eclipses of Europa and three eclipses of Io, were observed at three wavelengths (0.35, 0.50, 0.91 micrometers) with a time resolution of 0.1 sec. Preliminary model fits to the light curves are presented. Model satellites with different albedo distributions (uniform disk, bright solar caps, bright quadrant) are used in generating model occultation and eclipse curves to demonstrate the sensitivity of observed light curves to the brightness distribution on the surface of the occulted or eclipsed satellite. At the present the observations yield no conclusive information of the limb-darkening of Io. The best data for Europa indicate that the satellite is limb-darkened at both 0.50 and 0.91 micrometers.

Mutual admittance between circular waveguide-fed apertures for large spacing

A closed-form asymptotic expression for the mutual admittance between two circular waveguide-fed apertures is developed for large element spacings. A comparison with calculations obtained by a numerical integration method indicated that the present analysis gives good results for spacings greater than two wavelengths.

Mutual phenomena of Saturn's satellites in 1979-1980

Using two sets of orbital elements and the radii of the Saturnian satellites 1 (Mimas) through 7 (Hyperion), we find that from October 1979 until August 1980 nearly 300 mutual eclipses and occultations involving these bodies will occur. To allow for the expected errors in the satellite ephemerides, we repeat these calculations in order to obtain the additional events that occur when all satellite radii (save Titan's) are increased by 1000 km. A third listing predicts eclipses of satellites by (the shadow of) the ring. Photometric observations of a large number of these events will add much precise information to our knowledge of the Saturnian system at a critical time.
