Scientific paper

Laboratory investigations have been conducted to ascertain the role of sulphur ion implantation on differences in the reflectivity of the leading and trailing atmospheres of Europa in the visible and UV ranges. Under the laboratory conditions tested, neither S-implantation nor SO2 deposition can account for the general 'reddening' of the trailing hemisphere in the UV, relative to the leading hemisphere; this feature has been shown to be producible by fast penetrating ions.
