The small moonlets Thebe and Amalthea orbit Jupiter within the gossamer ring region, and structure in the intensity obtained from imaging observations indicates that these moons are the dominant sources of the gossamer ring material. Typical grain radii derived from imaging are a few microns. The current picture implies that particles ejected from a source moon evolve inward under Poynting- Robertson drag [1]. Beyond Thebe's orbit, a very faint outward extension of the gossamer ring was also observed which is not yet explained. The Galileo spacecraft traversed the gossamer rings in November 2002 and September 2003, and the in-situ dust detector on board [3] collected dust measurements during both ring passages. These are the first in-situ measure- Figure 1: Impact rate of the smallest (sub-micron) dust −13 ments in a 'dusty' planetary ring which was also studied particles (impact charges QI < 10 C) at Galileo's gos- with imaging techniques.

During the 2014–2015 campaign of mutual events, we recorded ground-based photometric observations of eclipses of Amalthea (JV) and, for the first time, Thebe (JXIV) by the Galilean moons. We focused on estimating whether the positioning accuracy of the inner satellites determined with photometry is sufficient for dynamical studies. Methods. We observed two eclipses of Amalthea and one of Thebe with the 1 m telescope at Pic du Midi Observatory using an IR filter and a mask placed over the planetary image to avoid blooming features. A third observation of Amalthea was taken at Saint-Sulpice Observatory with a 60 cm telescope using a methane filter (890 nm) and a deep absorption band to decrease the contrast between the planet and the satellites.

It is surrounded by an extremely thin atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide and probably molecular oxygen. Named after Paisphae, which has a mean radius of 30 km, these satellites are retrograde, and are also believed to be the result of an asteroid that was captured by Jupiter and fragmented due to a series of collisions. Many are believed to have broken up by mechanical stresses during capture, or afterward by collisions with other small bodies, producing the moons we see today. Jupiter's Racing Stripes.
