Scientific paper

We present analysis of HST/FOC images of Triton obtained on 20-24 September, 1995. Images were taken in two wavelength bands using the F278M and F410M filters in order to obtain the first mid-UV map of Triton, and to place further compositional constraints on Triton's surface by imaging farther into the UV than did Voyager. Our disk-resolved images provide full longitudinal coverage, with image sets taken at Triton CMLs of 100, 210, and 330 degrees. We will compare FOC-derived lightcurves and geometric albedo maps with Voyager imaging maps and FOS disk-averaged albedos, providing insight into the distribution of UV absorbing materials on Triton and the seasonal evolution of Triton's surface.
