Scientific paper

We monitored Io's volcanic thermal emission from 1.7 to 4.8 micron in 1995/96. The data reveal a number of brightenings when Io's thermal emission increased several-fold. We use a model of emission from lava flows to understand observations of two brightenings in 1996. The brightenings were caused by eruptions approximately = 3 km2 in extent, with eruptive rates of 104-106 m2s-1, and with maximum lava temperatures greater than or = 1400 K. These events akes and/or fire fountains.
