Scientific paper

The magnitudes of the axes of the triaxilial ellipsoids of Phobos, Amalthea, Io, and Mimas are calculated theoretically, assuming that the bodies have constant volumes throughout their evolution. The results are compared to in situ determinations. It is found that tidal and rotational distortions are fully responsible for the figure parameters of these synchronously orbiting satellites. The primordial dynamic parameters of these satellites are given.
