Context. In 2003, the Sun and the Earth passed through both the equatorial plane of Jupiter and therefore the orbital planes of its main satellites.Aims. During this period, mutual eclipses and occultations were observed and we present the data collected.Methods. Light curves of mutual eclipses and occultations were recorded by the observers of the international campaign PHEMU03 organized bythe Institut de mécanique céleste, Paris, France.Results. We completed 377 observations of 118 mutual events from 42 sites and the corresponding data are presented in this paper. For eachobservation, information about the telescope, receptor, site, and observational conditions are provided.Conclusions. This paper gathers all data and indicates a first estimate of its precision. This catalogue of these rare events should constitute animproved basis for accurate astrometric data useful in the development of dynamical models.Read less <
