Io's volcanic control of Jupiter's extended neutral clouds
TLDR
In this article, dramatic changes in the brightness and shape of Jupiter's extended sodium nebula are found to be correlated with the infrared emission brightness of Io, and they conclude that silicate volcanism on Io controls both the rate and the means by which sodium escapes from Io's atmosphere.About:

STIS Coronagraphic Imaging of Fomalhaut: Main Belt Structure and the Orbit of Fomalhaut b
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new optical coronagraphic data of Fomalhaut b obtained with HST/STIS in 2010 and 2012, and the two epochs of Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) photometry exclude optical variability greater than 35%.

Cassini UVIS observations of the Io plasma torus. IV. Modeling temporal and azimuthal variability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a model of the remarkable temporal and azimuthal variability of the Io plasma torus observed during the Cassini encounter with Jupiter, where the authors postulate the existence of two azimated variations in the number of superthermal electrons in the torus: a primary variation with a period of 10.07 h and a secondary variation that remains fixed in System III longitude.

Composition of jovian dust stream particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass spectra of jovian stream particles were used to determine the chemical composition of particles, and the results imply that the vast majority (>95%) of the observed stream particles originate from the volcanic active jovians satellite Io from where they are sprinkled out far into the Solar System.

Brightening event seen in observations of Jupiter’s extended sodium nebula
TL;DR: Jupiter's sodium nebula has been observed to show variations in its brightness due to the volcanic activity on Io as mentioned in this paper, and the brightness increased by three times during this enhancement, while the D-line brightness had been stably faint and dim until January 2015, but it showed a distinct enhancement from February through March 2015.

Volcanic Activity on lo at the Time of the Ulysses Encounter.
TL;DR: Groundbased infrared observations of lo between October 1991 and March 1992, contemporaneous with the 8 February 1992 Ulysses observations of the lo torus, show that volcanic thermal emission was at the low end of the normal range at all lo longitudes during this period.

The IO Plasma Torus
TL;DR: A review of the most recent ground-based observations of the Io plasma torus can be found in this article, focusing on areas where ground-and Earth-orbiting measurements have contributed the most.
