Near UV Imaging of Jupiter's Satellite Io with HST

Astronomy and Astrophysics, v.262, p.617-620 (1992)


Abstract
The surface of Jupiter's Galilean satellite Io has been resolved for the first time in the near ultraviolet at 2850 A by the Faint Object Camera (FOC) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The restored images reveal significant surface structure down to the resolution limit of the optical system corresponding to approximately 250 km at the sub-earth point.
