The Galilean moons play major roles in the giant magnetosphere of Jupiter. At the same
time, the magnetospheric particles and fields affect the moons. The impact of …

Jupiter's Galilean satellite Io is one of the most remarkable objects in our Solar System. The
tidal heating Io undergoes through its orbital resonance with Europa and Ganymede has …

We present first results derived from the largest collection of contemporaneously recorded
Jovian sodium nebula and Io plasma torus in [S II] 6731 Å images assembled to date. The …

Decline and recovery timescales surrounding eclipse are indicative of the controlling
physical processes in Io's atmosphere. Recent studies have established that the majority of …

We calculated the cross sections of photolysis of OH, LiO, NaO, KO, HCl, LiCl, NaCl, KCl,
HF, LiF, NaF, and KF molecules using quantum chemistry methods. The maximal values for …

Io's atmosphere is predominately SO 2 that is sustained by a combination of volcanic
outgassing and sublimation. The loss from the atmosphere is the main mass source for …

Abstract The Rapid Imaging Planetary Spectrograph (RIPS) was designed as a long-slit high-
resolution spectrograph for the specific application of studying atmospheres of spatially …

We report the results of model simulations performed to explain the nature of a sodium
emission feature in Io Neutral Clouds. The feature was detected via high-resolution …

The current state of knowledge of Io's atmosphere and plumes is summarized, with an
emphasis on research conducted since the Galileo era. While the primary source of Io's …

The cross sections of photolysis of LiO, NaO, KO, MgO, and CaO molecules have been
calculated by the use of quantum chemistry methods. The maximal values for photolysis …
