Volcanic origin of the eruptive plumes on Io
A quadruple long exposure of Io in eclipse exhibits faint auroral emission from the eruptive plumes. No luminous spots in the vents, predicted by Gold, were observed. Heat from the interior of Io appears to be the predominant source of energy in the plumes.

Dynamics of volcanic plumes on Io
Ballistic and aerodynamic models are proposed to explain the volcanic plumes on Io, with particular reference to Plumes 1 and 3 which seem to have the same origin.
