Abstract
- Simplified expressions for the poles of Jupiter's Galilean satellites are derived, assuming that the satellites' poles are normal to their orbits. The resulting short trigonometric series depend upon the nodal motions of the satellites and librate about the pole of Jupiter. The precision of the final expressions is better than 0.01 degrees.
