A close-up look at Io from Galileo's Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer
Infrared spectral images of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, acquired during October and November 1999 flybys of the Galileo spacecraft, were used to study the thermal structure and sulfur dioxide distribution of active volcanos.

Active Volcanism on IO: Global Distribution and Variations in Activity
Io's volcanic activity has been monitored by instruments aboard the Galileo spacecraft since June 28, 1996. We present results from observations by the Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIM) for the first ten orbits of Galileo, correlate them with results from the Solid State Imaging System (SSI)and from ground-based observations, and compare them to what was known about Io's volcanic activity from observations made during the two Voyager fly-bys in 1979.

Hot Spots on Io: Initial Results from Galileo's Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer
The Near-infrared Mapping Spectrometer on Galileo has monitored the volcanic activity on Io since June 28, 1996. This paper presents preliminary analysis of NIMS thermal data for the first four orbits of the Galileo mission.

The Distribution of Sulfur Dioxide and Other Infrared Absorbers on the Surface of Io
The Galileo Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer was used to investigate the distribution and properties of sulfur dioxide over the surface of Io, and qualitative results for the anti-jove hemisphere are presented here.

Surficial Iron Conversion Mechanisms for the Surface of Mercury
The spectral evidence for the presence of iron on the surface of Mercury is equivocal. Estimates of strength of the 0.9 to 1.2 micron coordination band range from weak to non-existent. This band provides a measure of iron bound in pyroxenes, feldspars and olivine. This band is ubiquitous for spectra of Earth, the Moon, and Mars. It is reasonable to believe that Mercury would have similar total iron.
