Scientific paper
The spectral reflectances (λ = 0.39 to 0.70 μm) of ultrapure sulfur contaminated with various quantities of a coal tar residue and charcoal were found to decrease with an increase in peak heating temperature. Contamination at the 10-4 (by weight) level produced detectable spectral changes relative to the pure sulfur under the same conditions. The coal tar residue was more effective than the charcoal at altering the spectral reflectances and about one hundred times more effective than basalt. The flux of carbonaceous material calculated to fall on Io is not sufficient to cause significant discoloration of sulfur if the suggested resurfacing rate (10-1 to 10-3cm/yr) is correct.
