Scientific paper

A summary discussion of research undertaken in this project is presented and is related to six published papers attached in the appendix. The discussion is divided into six sections describing a variety of studies for the loss of atomic and molecular species from Io. They include studies for: (1) atomic sodium, (2) SO2, (3) O and S, (4) spectacular high-spatial resolution ultraviolet image observations of O, S, and possibly H in Io's atmosphere and/or corona acquired by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrometer (STIS) of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), (5) spectacular high-spatial resolution visible Io eclipse image observations acquired by the Solid State Imager (SSI) of Galileo spacecraft, (6) ground-based observations acquired by the Solid State Imager (SSI) of Galileo spacecraft, and (7) ground-based observations of Io's neutral cloud in [OI] 6300 angstrom emission. New source rates at Io's exobase for SO2, O, and H are given and a variety of interesting implications for Io's atmosphere and for the Io plasma torus are discussed. Appendices that are comprised of articles published during the contract are also presented.
