Scientific paper

Results of infrared photometric observations of four occultations of Io by Europa in 1991, which coincided with a period of unusually high activity at Loki, are reported. Observations at 3.4 microns on 01/08/1991 detected a possible small hot spot in the northern hemisphere. Observations at 5.0 microns on 02/27/1991 detected and resolved the major hot spot Loki, which had a diameter of 170 km and three times its Voyager 1 flux, and also detected the Voyager hot spot Pele at about half its Voyager 1 flux.
