Scientific paper

The results of a comprehensive analysis of disk-integrated photometry of Io derived from Voyager images are presented. Phase curves, rotation curves, and geometric albedos consistent with earth-based observations of Io are obtained, except for a previously noted tendency for the Voyager data to yield somewhat redder colors. It is demonstrated that the phase coefficient decreases with increasing wavelength. The phase integral ranges from about 0.7 in the ultraviolet to about 0.8 in the orange. The Bond albedo is estimated at 0.50 + or -0.10, a value consistent with, though slightly below, previous earth-based estimates.
