Hydrocarbon photochemistry in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter.
The hydrocarbon photochemistry in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter is investigated using a one-dimensional, photochemical-diffusive, and diurnally averaged model. The important chemical cycles and pathways among the major species are outlined and a standard model for the North Equatorial Belt region is examined in detail. It is found that several traditionally dominant chemical pathways among ...
متن کاملThe Composition of the Atmosphere of Jupiter
Modern studies of the composition of Jupiter’s atmosphere date back to the mid-nineteenth century, when the nearinfrared spectrum of the planet was viewed by Rutherfurd (1863) using diffraction gratings of his own manufacture. He discovered features that remained unidentified until 1932, when Wildt showed that the unknown spectral lines were due to ammonia and methane. In later years, building ...
متن کاملJupiter: Aerosol Chemistry in the Polar Atmosphere.
Aromatic compounds have been considered a likely candidate for enhanced aerosol formation in the polar region of Jupiter. We develop a new chemical model for aromatic compounds in the Jovian auroral thermosphere/ionosphere. The model is based on a previous model for hydrocarbon chemistry in the Jovian atmosphere and is constrained by observations from Voyager, Galileo, and the Infrared Space Ob...
متن کاملThe Atmosphere and Ionosphere of Jupiter
The properties of the atmosphere of Jupiter are reviewed in the light of observations carried out by the Voyager mission. Solar occultation measurements in the ultraviolet show that the temperature of the upper atmosphere is II00±200K, an apparent increase of about 30% from the value obtained by the Pioneer mission in 1973. Stellar occultation in the ultraviolet indicate that the temperature gr...
متن کاملHydrogen Abundance in Jupiter ' s Atmosphere 1 , ~
Spectra of Jupiter showing the (4-0) S (1) hydrogen quadrupole line at 6367.80 A have been used to derive the amount of hydrogen contributing to the formation of the line : 75 ~-15 kin-arm, neglecting scattering. This and measurements by other authors are used to test whether the C/H ratio for Jupiter's atmosphere is equal to the solar value. ~NTRODUCTION The main constituents of Jupiter's atmo...
