Scientific paper

Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto have been observed with the RATAN-600 radio telescope at wavelengths of 2.08 and 3.95 cm. The techniques and results are described. A sensitivity better than 10 to the -29th power W/sq m per Hz can be achieved by the 'glide' method. Callisto has a brightness temperature of 180 plus or minus 30 K at both wavelengths; Ganymede, 165 K plus or minus 30 K at 3.9 cm. Radio emission from Europa has been detected; its brightness temperature at 3.9 cm is 190 plus or minus 40 K. All three satellites have a temperature above the equilibrium value.
