Stability of water on the Galilean satellitesThe selective loss of water from Io under currently prevailing physical conditions was studied to determine whether a large quantity of water can be lost from the satellite over the lifetime of the solar system. Loss processes considered include: thermal escape, photolysis, sputtering, and gas-phase charged particle interactions.
