Scientific paper

Images at 3.8 microns are presented of the Jovian satellite Io at an unprecedented ground-based resolution of 0.18 arcsec. The images were obtained through 2D speckle interferometry using the 6.86-m aperture of the Multiple Mirror Telescope in November 1989 and March 1990. To process the images, speckle-reduction techniques are developed which are appropriate for objects with a size that is a significant fraction of the field of view. The images show three volcanic hotspots, including Pele, detected here for the first time since the Voyager 1 flyby in 1979.
