Interactions of sublimated frost with volcanic plumes: Modelling Io's SO${}_2$ atmosphere using the DSMC method

Leander Schlarmann, Audrey Vorburger, Tim Mosimann +2

Io's tenuous atmosphere consists primarily of sulphur dioxide (SO${}_2$) with observed column densities of approximately $10^{16}-10^{17}$ cm${}^{-2}$. However, it remains uncertain…
