The increasing amplitude of Triton's lightcurve toward the ultraviolet implies the presence of a surface-lying UV absorber. It is predicted that this absorber makes the surface appear contrasty in the ultraviolet but not in the visible. A numerical model is constructed to solve for the properties of this absorber from the multicolor lightcurve dataset, and a solution is found which is strongly reminiscent of sulfur dioxide.
