A strong absorption band at 3590 +/- 20 cm-1 (2.790 +/- 0.015 micrometers) has been discovered in the spectrum of Io using the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO). The 2 nu1 + nu3 combination mode of solid SO2 falls at this position. Since SO2 is abundant on Io it must contribute to the new band. Howe
