Scientific paper

An 8-year IUE satellite spectrophotometric observation campaign's results for the Galilean satellites of Jupiter indicate low albedos for all four, consistent with the distribution of sulfurous materials escaping from the surface of Io to the surfaces of the three other bodies by means of magnetospheric processes. A previously reported UV spectral asymmetry between Europa's leading and trailing hemispheres is confirmed. The greater trailing than leading side opposition surge observed in Europa implies that the trailing side is the less compact of the two. Ganymede exhibits UV spectral asymmetry also, but only at wavelengths greater than 0.28 microns.
