Scientific paper
WE report here photoelectric observations of two occultations of Jupiter's satellite Europa (JII) by the satellite Io (JI). The reductions in the intensity during these events exceeds predicted values (K. A., unpublished) by 80% and 55% for the nights of June 17, 1973, and June 24, 1973, respectively. The durations and absolute times of occurrence are in close agreement with the predictions, indicating that errors in the orbital parameters or in the satellite diameters are not introducing large errors into the predicted light curve. We therefore conclude that Europa has a bright polar cap extending from the north pole to latitude ~30°.
