Scientific paper

Photoelectric observations of the Galilean satellites were performed at 0.347-0.792 micron using 11 interference filters (Delta lambda/lambda = 2 percent). The dependence of the reflectivity of the satellites on the orbital phase angle near opposition (alpha not greater than 1.2 deg) was determined. The most significant reflectivity variations (approximately 40 percent) were observed for Io in the ultraviolet (0.347 micron). The smallest variations (5-7 percent) were observed for Callisto for the whole spectral range investigated.
