Observations and ephemerides of the faint satellites of Jupiter J/A+A/311/710 J/A+A/311/710 Faint Jovian satellites ephemerides Observations and ephemerides of the faint satellites of Jupiter P Rocher J Chapront Astron. Astrophys. 311 710 1996 1996A&A...311..710R Ephemerides Planets ephemerides planets and satellites: individual (Jupiter) The observations of the faint satellites of Jupiter J6, J7, J8 and J9 have been collected. Numerical integrations have been performed and fitted to ancient and modern observations. Ephemerides of the equatorial jovicentric rectangular coordinates of the satellites are presented under the form of Poisson series, covering 150 years from 1900. Numerical tools (tables and softwares) are provided to the users for a practical reconstruction of the ephemerides.
