Detection of H3+ auroral emission in Jupiter's 5-micron window

<p>We use high-resolution ground-based observations from the VLT CRIRES instrument in November 2012 to identify sixteen previously undetected H3+ emission lines from Jupiter’s ionosphere. These emission lines are located in Jupiter’s 5-micron window (4.5−5.2 μm), an optically-thin region of th...
