Infrared Spectral Signatures for Io's Dark and Green Spots

This spectral study of Io identifies the infrared components of the visible spectral units (green and dark) as identified by Galileo. The green units possess sulfur dioxide and the dark units are associated with infrared thermal signatures. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.

Dynamics and Evolution of SO2 Gas Condensation Around Prometheus-like Volcanic Plumes on Io as Seen by the Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer

Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer data acquired during the I24, 25, and 27 Io's Fly-bys by Galileo are analyzed to map the SO2 frost abundance and granularity. This allows a better understanding of the dynamics and evolution of gas condensation around volcanic plumes. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.

Wet and Dry Regions in Jupiter's Atmosphere

Models of Jupiter's formation and interior predict that its atmosphere is enriched in oxygen relative to the Sun and that consequently, a water cloud is present globally near the 5-bar pressure level.
