Scientific paper

Using the infrared camera at the wavelength of 2.2 microns, observations were made of Galilean Jupiter satellites at moments of occultation and eclipse. The results indicate that this technique is useful for studying the localization of volcanic hot spots on the satellites and for precise measurement of satellites when they are in positions near the planet. Such measurements are more difficult when performed at visible wavelengths.
