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 …

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 …

We report results from far-ultraviolet observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of
Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, transiting across the planet's dayside hemisphere. Within …

The atmosphere of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io consists of mainly sulfur dioxide (SO 2), and
this main constituent has been studied with a variety of observing techniques across many …

The nonadiabatic interactions between the C ̃ state and neighboring electronic states of SO
2 have attracted much attention; however, the predissociation mechanisms are not yet …

In this paper we discuss the testing setup, characterization, and applications of hollow core
fiber optics designed to transmit light in the far-ultraviolet (FUV; λ⪅ 200 nm). These hollow …

Since the Voyager mission flybys in 1979, we have known the moon Io to be extremely
volcanically active as well as to be the main source of plasma in the vast magnetosphere of …
