Spatiotemporal patterns of Io's bright transient eruptions, 1978-2022

Christian D. Tate, Julie A. Rathbun, Alexander G. Hayes +2

This study analyzes Io's thermally detected volcanic outbursts and mini-outbursts, generally called bright transient eruptions. We examine their evolving characteristics over the h…

Discovery of seven volcanic outbursts on Io from an IRTF observation campaign 2016 to 2022

Christian D. Tate, Julie A. Rathbun, Alexander G. Hayes +2

This study analyzes near-infrared measurements of Io, Jupiter's moon, observed over 170 nights from 2016 to early 2022 using the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). During thi…

Occultation mapping of Io's surface in the near-infrared I: Inferring static maps

Fran Bartolić, Rodrigo Luger, Daniel Foreman-Mackey +2

Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System with hundreds of active volcanoes varying in intensity on different timescales. Io has been observed duri…

Large Volcanic Event on Io Inferred from Jovian Sodium Nebula Brightening

Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler, Julie A. Rathbun, Carl A. Schmidt +2

Using narrow-band images recorded on over 150 nights by the 35 cm coronagraph which comprises PSI's Io Input/Output Facility (IoIO), we detected a 6-month long enhancement in the J…

The global distribution of active Ionian Volcanoes and implications for tidal heating models

Julie A. Rathbun, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, John R. Spencer

Tidal heating is the major source of heat in the outer Solar System. Because of its strong tidal interaction with Jupiter and the other Galilean Satellites, Io is incredibly volcan…
