Constraining Electron-Impact Ionization of O Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede
Stefan Duling, Joachim Saur, Darrell Strobel +3
While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron-impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative…

Observed Latitudinal, Longitudinal and Temporal Variability of Io's Atmosphere Simulated by a Purely Sublimation Driven Atmosphere
A. -C. Dott, J. Saur, S. Schlegel +3
How much of Io's SO atmosphere is driven by volcanic outgasing or sublimation of SO surface frost is a question with a considerable history. We develop a time dependent sur…

Mass supply from Io to Jupiter's magnetosphere
L. Roth, A. Blöcker, K. de Kleer +24
Since the Voyager mission flybys in 1979, we have known the moon Io to be both volcanically active and the main source of plasma in the vast magnetosphere of Jupiter. Material lost…
