Scientific paper

We present high resolution (0.02" pixels) maps of the SO2 ice distribution on the surface of Io, Jupiter's volcanic moon. The distribution is inferred from the equivalent width of two near-infrared absorption lines of SO2, at 1.97 and 2.13 microns. The data, taken in June 2006, covers a large fraction of the leading and trailing faces of Io, spanning longitudes from 20W-140W and 190W-310W, from latitudes of -60-+60. They exemplify the ability of ground-based integral field spectrometry to compete with and complement former studies based on Voyager and Galileo spacecraft measurements.
