Scientific paper

Analysis of three occultations of JII (Europa) by JI (Io) has resulted in a preliminary reflectivity map of JII for the hemisphere centered on longitude 324 deg, a measurement of 1483 plus or minus 20 km for the radius of JII, estimates of the event impact parameters, determination of the midevent times, and a visual geometric albedo of 0.74, for JII. A fourth occultation light curve was used after derivation of the results to confirm their validity.
