Scientific paper

In this study, we use ultraviolet observations from the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Galileo Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) to compose the ultraviolet solar phase curves of the icy Galilean satellites. Broadband rotation phase curves from 0.26 to 0.32 microns are constructed in order to examine the rotational behavior of the icy Galilean satellites in the ultraviolet. After normalizing the rotational variations, modeling of the solar phase variations are compared to comparable studies in the visible.
