Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 11:34:07 -0700 From: "Robert R. Howell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: IJW Newsletter -- 2001 #3 To: IJW Satellite List: ; IJW Satellite Newsletter -- 2001 # 3 Two items of recent news (well at least one news, and one the lack thereof): Here is a message from John Spencer regarding recent Galileo and Cassini observations of Io: Galileo images during the "G29" Io flyby on December 30 2000 show a new large (Pele-sized) pyroclastic deposit around Tvashtar, presumably related to the bright infrared event reported by Franck Marchis et al. on December 16th. In addition, the Cassini spacecraft saw a large plume over Tvashtar during its late December / early January Jupiter flyby. This is faintly visible in emission as a "topknot" in the Cassini movie of Io in eclipse available at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/jupiterflyby/gallery/gl_pages/pia02882.html There have not been any further reports of observations of the outburst initially detected by Imke de Pater and coworkers on Feb. 22 and described in the last newsletter. (I'm calling this event 0102A.) If you did get further observations, please let me know. == You are subscribed to the Europa Icepick mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project information and list (un)subscribe info: http://klx.com/europa/
