Scientific paper

We have developed a model of the chemistry and energetics of the Io plasma torus, following similar methods to Shemansky (1988), Schreier et al. (1998) Thomas et al. (2001) and others. We have explored the sensitivity of torus properties (density, composition, temperatures) to parameters such as neutral density (i.e. source), transport rate and the addition of a population of hot electrons. We have also explored the sensitivity of results to recent changes in atomic data. Model results are compared with observed torus conditions measured in situ (Voyager, Galileo) and remotely (Voyager, Cassini, HST and from ground-based telescopes).
