Post-Newtonian Effects in the Motion of the Innermost Jupiters Satellites
In the present paper the possibility of measuring general relativistic effects on the orbits of the inner Jupiters satellites are discussed. We consider for Amalthea J5 the question if the PN components of orbital precession can be isolated from the far larger Newtonian precession. The results of several numerical simulations have shown that all larger contributions of Newtonian perturbations can be modeled and subtracted out.
