Abstract: Since the detection of a very strong volcanic activity on Io by Voyager, other instances of volcanic activity have been discovered in the solar system. Super-Earths are very promising extra-solar planets. If a volcanic activity is generated in a similar manner as for Io occurs in Super-Earth's, these objects would be highly active corresponding to Super-Io's and even more Hyper-Ios. They would present very interesting observational features. We investigate the conditions of a possible atmosphere and its properties, particularly the molecules corresponding to a volcanic activity.
