Scientific paper

Voyager-derived data on the albedos of Europa are presently photometrically corrected and converted into average, single-scattering form, in order to analyze them as a function of angular distance from the apex of orbital motion. A hypothesized magnetospheric modification of the Europa surface is confirmed by the UV absorption found in the 0.35-micron filter data; this absorption directly correlates with the longitudinal ion implantation distribution in both terrain types. A 'red' spectrum is found in both terrain types as well, and is found to be constant across the surface. A uniform increase is noted in the 'dark' terrain absorption over that in the 'bright' terrain.
