Scientific paper

A newly discovered absorption feature in Io's spectrum at 2.1253 microns promises to reveal significant insights in the nature of the interaction among Io's surface, atmosphere, and volcanoes. The most likely candidate for this feature appears to be clusters of CO2 molecules. Observations are underway on a current series of occultations and eclipses of Io by other Galilean satellites in order to locate the source of this newly discovered material on Io, which should provide further clues to its origin.
