PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

    Galileo NIMS Spectral Radiance from Io's Active Volcanoes

    Brief description of the data

    The original data was obtained with the Galileo Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) that covered the range from 0.7 to 5.3 µm during the period from 1989 to 2003. This set of volcanic thermal emission products contains observations of spectra of individual hot spots. The products represent an expansion of the NIMS Io Thermal Emission Database (NITED - Davies et al., 2012a, 2012b, 2014 – See documentation).

    The data consists of observations during day and night. It includes collections of raw, converted and resultant data.
