SO2 on Io: A thermodynamic perspective
Abstract
The presence of condensed SO2 on Io mandates a finite abundance of SO2 vapor which must be present, regardless of plume activity. The absorption of SO2 was measured on particulate sulfur and the equilibrium between absorbed SO2, SO2 vapor, and SO2 ice examined, based upon measurements and simple thermodynamic considerations.
