Figure 1:
STIS image (raw data). The second, fourth, and sixth images,
which are less contaminated with terrestrial airglow than the others,
have been combined to reduce noise. Each image is 1024 × 1024
pixels, each 0.0244´´
square on the sky plane, with 0.584 Å/pixel
dispersion convolved with the spatial information horizontally; thus,
for each emission wavelength, a "slit image" appears at a different
(but potentially overlapping) position on the detector. Positions of slit
images for expected emission wavelengths are shown above the image.
The circular features are emission near Io's limb.
