Scientific paper

From reanalysis of 17th century and 20th century eclipse observations, with three different models for the earth's rotation, and from the use of both longitude comparison and mean motion comparison, we find that Io has a fractional acceleration of (4.54±0.95) × 10-10 yr-1. If Io can be considered a Keplerian oscillator, its orbital semi-major axis decreases by 13 cm/yr.
