    ..A lifetime on the order of 4 years is suggested, based on photoionization and magnetospheric sweeping. Either the atmosphere is transient and was formed recently or some process is currently supplying carbon dioxide to the atmosphere...
  2. ncbi Hydrogen peroxide on the surface of Europa
    R W Carlson
    Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91109, USA
    Science 283:2062-4. 1999
    ..The inferred abundance is consistent with radiolytic production of hydrogen peroxide by intense energetic particle bombardment and demonstrates that Europa's surface chemistry is dominated by radiolysis...

    Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91109, USA
    Science 286:97-9. 1999
    ..Enhanced sulfuric acid concentrations are found in Europa's geologically young terrains, suggesting that low-temperature, liquid sulfuric acid may influence geological processes...
