Lane, A.L. and Domingue, D.L. (1997). IUE's view of Callisto: Detection of an SO₂ absorption correlated to possible torus neutral wind alterations. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL00884. issn: 0094-8276.

Observations taken with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) detected a 0.28&mgr;m absorption feature on Callisto's leading and Jupiter-facing hemispheres. This feature is similar to Europa's 0.28&mgr;m feature, however it shows no correlation with magnetospheric ion bombardment. The strongest 0.28&mgr;m signature is seen in the region containing the Valhalla impact. This absorption feature also shows some spatial correlation to possible neutral wind interactions, suggestive of S implantation (rather than Sx) into Callisto's water ice surface. Indications of possible temporal variations (on the 10% level) are seen at other wavelengths between the '84--'86 and the '96 observations.¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union
