Abstract

We studied small perturbations acting on Galilean satellites. Most of them are still not computed in the analytical theories and could probably improve the ephemeris of these satellites which are outside the precision of the observations. We used a numerical method to test the effect of such perturbations. Here are reporting the main results we obtained.
