Scientific paper

Laboratory reflection spectra of SO2 frost in the range 6-14 microns are presented for comparison with Voyager 1 IR spectra of Io. The spectra were obtained for 3-mm thick frost layers formed at 80 K and subsequently warmed to 140 K and cooled to 80 K to represent a 140 K formation temperature. It is shown that only the spectrum of frost deposited on a substrate at a rate of 1500 microns/min and a temperature of 80K exhibits a strong absorption band at 7.5 microns, consistent with the possible Voyager identification of solid SO2 absorption feature in emission observations. Plans for acquiring laboratory spectra covering a wider range of frequencies and formation temperatures and thus enabling further diagnostics of the Io surface are noted.
