Scientific paper

The present model for a Jupiter shadow-eclipsed Gallilean satellite light-curve derives center-of-figure data on satellite position from photometric eclipse data. The model's sample output shows that tens of seconds may pass between the time of half-phase in the eclipse and that of satellite half-luminosity. Much of the scatter in observed-minus-calculated residuals for eclipse times, relative to modern ephemeris predictions, is reduced when the model is used to correct the times of half-luminosity to half-phase.
