Scientific paper

A study of the morphology of Io's hot plasma torus has encompassed hundreds of Voyager UVS measurements of torus intensity. The long-term average state of the torus can be characterized by an axial asymmetry in the brightness of the prominent S III 685-A feature manifested as an enhancement in brightness whose peak is fixed near 1900 local time. No long-term correlation of brightness with magnetic longitude is present. On time scales of a few Jupiter rotations, the torus can differ markedly from its average axial asymmetry, and its brightness is correlated with magnetic longitude for short times.
