Scientific paper

Europa was eclipsed but not occulted when the K-nucleus of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. We tried to detect brightening of the satellite due to the reflection of impact flash, from 10:05 to 10:40 on July 19, 1994 (UT). We monitored Jupiter and its surrounding area by a CCD video movie camera attached to a telescope of 28 cm in aperture and 280 cm in focal length. We could not find any brightening even though we could detect a 10.0 V-magnitude star of F8 type near Jupiter.
