Scientific paper

During Galileo's fourth orbit of Jupiter, its NIMS and UVS instruments were used to study spectral variability over a wide spectral range. Because these are the first disk-resolved UV data of Europa's surface, they may be used to determine how the absorption band varies across the surface of the trailing hemisphere; it will also be possible to ascertain how the UV absorption features vary as the ice grain size determined by NIMS varies over the surface.
