Perturbation of an orbiter of a Galilean Satellite by the other satellites
Abstract
In this paper the perturbation of an orbiter of one of the Galilean Satellites by the other Galilean Satellites of Jupiter is investigated. The attraction of the perturbing Satellite is averaged over one revolution and expressed by elliptic integrals. The perturbation of the orbiter is then obtained by the stroboscopic method.
