The spectrum of Jupiter between 8 and 9 μ: Estimates of the jovian C/H and D/H ratios

  • 1. Observatoire de Paris, Section de Meudon, 92 (France)

Description

A spectrum of Jupiter has been recorded between 1100 and 1200 cm 'with 2cm' resolution. By comparison with synthetic spectra, we derive upper limits for C/H (1.0103) and D,H (410-5) on Jupiter. The P,H ratio is found to be depleted by a factor 5 relatively to the solar value. A continuous absorption is required to fit the data in the continuum: this absorption could be due to an NH3 ice cloud around 150 K. (orig.)
