abstract = "Immersed in Jupiters magnetosphere is Io, the innermost of the
Jupiters four Galilean moons. Io is a remarkable object due to its
intense volcanic activity. Ios volcanism produces a tenuous
atmosphere that escapes creating the Io plasma torus (IPT), a ring
of charged particles encircling Jupiter. Considering this
scenario, it is reasonable to expect that the IPT torus should be
affected by changes in Ios volcanism. Observations of the Jovian
satellites from space-based platforms began in the early 1970s
with the launch of Pioneer 10 and 11. Since then several
encounters occurred with Jupiter and the Galilean satellites.
Ulysses, Cassini and New Horizons took information at a distance,
while Galileo had made several flybys on Io. However an
outstanding question concerning the complex Io-Jupiter coupled
system is how Ios volcanic activity affects the IPT variability.
In this work, it is focused on [SII] 6731 Å emission lines from
the IPT, obtained by ground-based observations at the
MacMath-Pierce Solar Telescope in the late nineties. Here is
presented the methodology developed to image/data processing of
the torus and some first anlaysis of the intensity variatbility,
with the aim to obtain information related to system IV.",
