Abstract
We present new polarimetric observations of the Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto as well as the North and South polar regions of Jupiter in the V filter within the range of phase angles −0.13−0.62°. The differences between our results and observations of other authors are discussed. It is shown that there is no second inversion point near the phase angle 0.5°. New observations fully confirmed the presence of the polarization opposition effect for the Galilean satellites Io, Europa, and Ganymede in the region of phase angles smaller than 2°. Observations of Jupiter verified a sharp turn of the angle between the observed polarization plane and the plane perpendicular to the scattering plane by 90°.
