AB: Jupiter decameter wavelength emissions (DAM) have a known correlation with the orbital phases of the four Galilean satellites. In particular, the 2.0-5.6 MHz band of the DAM emission shows a small but significant enhancement in occurrence probability at specific orbital phases of the satellites. We performed a similar study using Cassini data that includes rotation period averaging and removal of the known satellite influences. We confirm the Galileo and Voyager studies in the 2.0-5.6 MHz band of the DAM emission and investigate the higher frequency bands 6-16 MHz. These analyses give further evidence for Alfvénic interactions between the satellites and Jupiter.
