Scientific paper

Multicolor photometry was obtained of satellites J6 Himalia, J7 Elara, and J10 Lysithea in the prograde cloud of outer Jovian satellites, and of J8 Pasiphae, J9 Sinope, and J11 Carme in the retrograde cloud. The data for J9 are fragmentary; otherwise, the satellites all look like C-class asteroids, except J11, which shows a remarkable brightness in the ultraviolet. The absence of D-class spectra among the outer Jovian satellites suggests that they were not derived from the same population as the outer-belt and Trojan asteroid populations.
