Show affiliationsThis article describes a fit of numerically integrated orbits for the eight outer Jovian satellites to Earth-based astrometric observations. The principal results are the epoch state vectors for the integration and a set of mean orbital elements, which approximately represent the orbits. An assessment of the quality of the fit and of the accuracy of the orbits is also provided.
