Observation of Io's Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground‐Based Adaptive Optics at Visible Wavelengths With LBT SHARK‐VIS

Observations have benefited from the use of ALTA Center (alta.arcetri.inaf.it) forecasts performed with the Astro-Meso-Nh model. Initialization data of the ALTA automatic forecast system come from the General Circulation Model (HRES) of the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts. The authors are grateful to Marco Stangalini for his help during the development of the Forerunner of SHARK-VIS and his suggestions about the fast imaging approach with sCMOS detectors. The Kraken code was developed under the Air Force Office of Scientific Research award number FA9550-14-1-0178. We thank the Keck Observatory staff for their dedication to obtaining Twilght Zone images. We acknowledge the vital work of the Juno Project in obtaining Io data. Part of this work was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory—California Institute of Technology, under Government contract. Ashley Davies, Jason Perry, David Williams, and David Nelson are supported by the NASA New Frontiers Data Analysis Program (NFDAP) under award 80NM0018F0612.
