Description

This archive contains spherical harmonic models of the gravitational potential of the Galilean satellites derived from data collected by the Galileo mission. For all models, the spherical harmonic coefficients are to be used with unnormalized spherical harmonics that exclude the Condon-Shortley phase factor of (-1)^m. The fist line of each file is a header that contains the reference radius (in km), the GM and its uncertainty (in km^3/s^2), and the k2 Love number and its uncertainty (for Io only). The files in this archive with the asociated references are: Anderson2001_Io_gravity.sh (Anderson et al. 2001) Anderson1998_Europa_gravity.sh (Anderson et al. 1998) Anderson1996_Ganymede_1_gravity.sh (Anderson et al. 1996, encounter 1) Anderson1996_Ganymede_2_gravity.sh (Anderson et al. 1996, encounter 2) Anderson2001_Callisto_gravity.sh (Anderson et al. 2001)
