Io: Heat flow from small volcanic features

Finally, we update and summarize our results for the global heat flow on Io due to 242 recently active volcanic features including other dark paterae as well as large dark flows. The volcanic thermal emission from known hot spots, undetected (scanned) dark patera and outbursts can account for only ∼56.2 × 1012 W (or ∼54%) of Io's total heat flow. Approximately 49 × 1012 W (or ∼46%) of Io's heat flow remains an enigma.
