AST-0628781/Mendillo, BUThe award will cover the use of the Air Force's Advanced Electro-Optical System telescope on Maui for high-resolution imaging of the escaping atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Io. The escaping gases from Io's atmosphere, eventually ionized in the Jovian environment, is the main driver for Jupiter's intense magnetospehere, and better imaging of the transfer of material from Io's atmosphere into the active environment of Jupiter will allow a better understanding of the dynamics of the complex Jovian environment. The work is in collaboration with the Japanese, and includes a significant new program of education and outreach to a minority population in one of Boston's inner city schools.

该合同将包括使用空军在毛伊岛的先进光电系统望远镜，对木星卫星木卫一逃逸大气层进行高分辨率成像。从木卫一大气中逸出的气体，最终在木星环境中电离，是木星强烈磁层的主要驱动因素，更好地成像从木卫一大气中物质转移到木星活跃环境中的过程，将有助于更好地理解复杂的木星环境动力学。这项工作是与日本人合作的，其中包括一个重要的新教育项目，并向波士顿内城一所学校的少数民族人口提供服务。
