Model calculations of collisional diffusive equilibrium in the Io plasma torus using the most recent estimates of reaction rates and electron excitation collision strengths indicate that oxygen and sulfur ions are partitioned roughly equally as major species, in conformity with Voyager EUV measurements of O II, S II, and S III emissions, and with recent rocket observations of O I and S I emissions. ¿American Geophysical Union 1987
