Scientific paper

The present analysis of IR spectra of Io in the 2.5-5.0 micron region with laboratory data on plausible surface ices gives attention to four unidentified features exhibiting spatial and temporal band strength variations; these fall close to the fundamental stretching modes in H2S and H2O, respectively. It is suggested that the 3.85- and 3.91-micron bands in the Io spectra can be accounted for by the absorption of the S-H stretching vibration in H2S clusters and isolated molecules in an SO2-dominated ice. The observations resemble the transmission spectra of SO2 ices that contain about 3 percent H2S and 0.1 percent H2O.
