Using Io's sulfur isotope cycle to understand the history of tidal heating

EC Hughes, K de Kleer, J Eiler, F Nimmo… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Stable isotope fractionation of sulfur offers a window into Io's tidal heating history, which is
difficult to constrain because Io's dynamic atmosphere and high resurfacing rates leave it …
