The Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer on Galileo has observed Io since June 1996. In 1999 and 2000, the spacecraft made three close fly-bys to Io, revealing for the first time, the detailed thermal structure of some of Io's hot 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.
Observations by Galileo's Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer were used to map the thermal structure of several of Io's hot spots, revealing different styles of volcanism Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract..
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.

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.

Infrared spectral images of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, acquired during October and November 1999 flybys of the Galileo spacecraft, were used to study the thermal structure and sulfur dioxide distribution of active volcanos.
