abstract = "The Io Plasma Torus (IPT) is a doughnut-shaped structure of
charged particles, composed mainly of sulfur and oxygen ions. The
main source of the IPT is the moon Io, the most volcanically
active object in the Solar System. Io is the innermost of the
Galilean moons of Jupiter, the main source of the magnetospheric
plasma and responsible for injecting nearly 1 ton/s of ions into
Jupiters magnetosphere. In this work ground-based observations of
the [SII] 6731 \˚A emission lines are observed, obtained at
the MacMath-Pierce Solar Telescope. The results shown here were
obtained in late 1997 and occurred shortly after a period of
important eruptions observed by the Galileo mission (1996-2003).
Several outbursts were observed and periods of intense volcanic
activity are important to correlate with periods of brightness
enhancements observed at the IPT. The time of response between an
eruption and enhancement at IPT is still not well understood.",
