Jupiter/Voyager data analysis

Abstract

The extent to which the unusual spectral properties of Io and Alamathea can be accounted for by sulfur glass or at least by sulfur rich glasses was investigated. Whether or not the temperature dependence of the characteristic spectrum of pure sulfur can be used to set limits on the abundance of sulfur as a surface constituent of Io was also explored. Data from Voyager imaging observations of Saturn's small satellites, of the unusual retrograde satellite Phoebe, and of Hyperion were also reduced, analyzed, and interpreted.
