Scientific paper

Absorption features arose at 0.42 and 0.52 microns when spectral reflectance measurements were conducted for elemental sulfur allotrope mixtures produced by the exposure of the cyclo-octal S(8) allotrope of sulfur to X-rays; while these features due to the presence of short-chain molecules are stable at low temperatures, they fade upon warming of the sample. The hypothesis that X-rays in the Jovian environment would cause other allotropic forms of sulfur to revert to S(8) is contradicted by the fact that these features are not present in S(8) at the same temperature that had not been exposed to X-rays.
