Scientific paper

Analytical models of the thermal emission from silicate lava flows on Io are being extended to study the Voyager IRIS spectrum of Ulgen Patera, Amaterasu Patera, and also ground-based measurements of Loki during some of its brightenings. Previous work had found that the models provide a very good fit to the thermal emission of Loki, and provide insight into the different characteristics of the activity at Pele. The new model fits show that the activity at Ulgen is similar in character to Loki, but at much reduced intensity. Furthermore a pair of Ulgen spectra with slightly different fields-of-view allows us to eliminate assumptions concerning the background emission from the passive surface, and allow a more rigorous test of the model.
