High resolution optical (4193-6619 Å) spectra of Io in eclipse show auroral emission in five lines: [OI] 6300, 6363, 5577 Å and Na 5889, 5896 Å. We conclude that Io's diffuse red emissions imaged by the Galileo Solid State Imager (P. E. Geissler et al. 1999, Science 285, 870-874) are due to impact o

The circumplanetary flow of Io's SO 2 atmosphere is modeled using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. This flow develops as gas sublimates from SO 2 frost in the warm subsolar region and flows toward the colder night-side, where it condenses. The axisymmetric model presented extends fro

A radiative-thermal conduction model for the vertical thermal structure of Io's atmosphere is developed with solar heating by \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) absorption in UV and near-IR bands and non-LTE cooling by \(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \nu_{1}, \nu_{2}, \nu_{3}\), vibrational bands and rotational lines.

We report on the first successful, spatially resolved spectroscopic observations of Io's SO 2 atmosphere. Observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph on 1 August 1996 using the 0.26 aperture have provided detections of SO 2 gas in absorption in three locations on the
