Scientific paper

A fitting has been conducted of observed lightcurve data for a partial solar ellipse of Callisto, due to occultation by the Jovian south pole on December 6, 1992, to a set of model lightcurves in which luminosity varies as a function of satellite location in a penumbral shadow. The observed polar radius is deduced to be 115 km less flat than the value implied by hydrostatic equilibrium.
