Scientific paper

The simplest model for the Cassini state is for an entirely solid satellite with a constant precession rate. A straightforward extension is to consider a non-uniform orbital precession, as in [3]. Recently, we have taken into account the effect of an internal global liquid layer for Titan [2]. Here we apply these two extensions to the Galilean satellites, in order to study the effect of a global liquid layer and to assess expected improvements on the internal structure from future obliquity measurements.
