Scientific paper

To explain the unidentified spectral features of Io, as obtained by the Voyager infrared spectrometer experiment, the infrared absorption spectra of a number of stable sulfur and oxygen compounds was measured and compared to the Voyager data. Based on the reference absorption bands of Na2SO4 and possibly SO2, the infrared data on Io in the region 700 to 200 per cm appear to represent an emission spectrum. Given the strong evidence for an oxidized crustal environment and the presence of sodium in the Io torus, the absorption spectra of the tested materials support the probability of Na2SO4 occurrence on Io.
