Global view of Io’s volcanic activity suggests that tidal heating is concentrated within its upper mantle
A team of volcanologists and planetary scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, the University of Arizona, and Arizona State University has found via study of a newly created global view of Io’s volcanic activity that its tidal heating is likely concentrated within its upper mantle. In their study, reported in the journal Nature Astronomy, the group analyzed data from sensors measuring heat emission from the closest of Jupiter’s innermost moons.
