Physics

Scientific paper

We report results of a study of true temporal variations in Io's sodium cloud before and after eclipse by Jupiter. The hypothesis we want to test is that the atmosphere partially condenses when the satellite enters Jupiter's shadow, preventing sodium from being released to the cloud in the hours immediately after the reappearance. For this purpose, we undertook observing runs at the italian telescope TNG at La Palma island with the high resolution echelle spectrograph SARG, both before and after eclipse, in the region around the doublet of sodium, the most easily detectable element in Io's neutral cloud from groundbased observatories. We present differences in brightness and column density before and after the eclipse.
