Galileo SSI and Cassini ISS Observations of Io's Pele Hotspot: Temperatures, Areas, and Variation with Time
Temperatures of Io's Pele hotspot were found using dual-filter observations from Galileo and Cassini. Temperatures average 1375 K, but vary widely over tens of minutes. Dropoff in emission with rotation consistent with lava fountaining at a lava lake. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
Galileo SSI Observations of Io During Orbits C30 I33
New Galileo SSI imaging of Io from orbits C30 I33 will be presented. The aging Galileo spacecraft continues to produce spectacular new results, including the tallest volcanic plume yet found on Io. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
New Results on Io's Color and Composition
Galileo's recent high-resolution imaging provides new insights into the nature of Io's colorful surface, shedding light on the composition and origin of pyroclastic deposits and suggesting that Io's mysterious green spots are due to coating or alteration of silicate lavas.
