TRAFTON, RESEARCH ! end of coverpage abstract: line_1: Neutral sulfur and oxygen, and stages of ionized sulfur have been observed in line_2: Jupiter's torus. Io is supposed to be the source of all torus species but the line_3: mechanism feeding the torus has not been determined. Neutral S should be line_4: densest Io. We will attempt to detect neutral sulfur and oxygen near Io in and line_5: out of the plasma torus in order to shed light on this problem. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: TRAFTON fname: LAURENCE mi: M. inst: TEXAS, UNIVERSITY OF country: USA ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: Use J.P.L. ephemeric to set up on Io. Use HRS target acquisition mode to line_2: center on Io. Observe S1296/1479A/1817A; and O1300/1356A near Io through LSA line_3: with low resolution grating when Io's geocentric orbital phase line_4: angle is between 45D and 90D . Observe when Io is within 2D and beyond line_5: 5D of the plasma torus equator. line_6: Next, offset 2.5 arcsec from Io towards Jupiter and observe when Io's line_7: orbital elongation is within 45D - 90D for the same two plasma torus line_8: proximities. Obtain one exposure line_9: with Jupiter in the background to attempt detection of 1820/1900A line_10: absorption; when plasma torus is out of the way (30 min.). Track +/- 1 arcsec line_11: wrt Io. Obtain line_12: calibration of Jupiter (10 m) center of disk. line_13: Obtain EARTH-CALIB. ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: UV required line_2: spatial resolution required ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: Need to observe Io when Jupiter is not nearby and both when Jupiter's magnetic line_2: equator is near and not near Io. line_3: Determine whether ionization by the plasma torus (in the magnetic equator) line_4: either depletes the S near Io or else enhances its emission. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Preliminary reduction of STScI line_3: Final reductions and analysis at U.
