摘要

The top spectrum (a) was taken by Bernard Schmitt from a laboratory SO2 ice maintained at a temperature of 125 K (-148 C, -234 oF). The other two spectra were taken from Io using the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the first (b) from Io's trailing hemisphere and the second (c) from Io's leading hemisphere. The strong similarity in the positions and relative strengths of the absorption bands demonstrate that SO2 covers a significant fraction of Io's surface.
