Scientific paper

Because of Io's low gravity and lack of atmosphere, any electrical charge on ballistic particles could become an important factor influencing their trajectories in a magnetic field. Voyager results from Io have shown many asymmetric volcanic plumes; with recent results from Galileo suggesting that Io has a magnetic field, it is possible that one effect causing asymmetry in plumes is the interaction of charged volcanic particles with the magnetic field.
