Upper limits on hydrogen halides in Jupiter from Cassini/CIRS observations

We have determined the following upper limits for the mole fraction of hydrogen halides in Jupiter's atmosphere from Cassini/CIRS observations: [HF] <2.7×10-11, [HCl] <2.3×10-9, [HBr]<1.0×10-9, [HI] <7.6×10-9. These limits are smaller than solar composition for HF an...

description We have determined the following upper limits for the mole fraction of hydrogen halides in Jupiter's atmosphere from Cassini/CIRS observations: [HF] <2.7×10-11, [HCl] <2.3×10-9, [HBr]<1.0×10-9, [HI] <7.6×10-9. These limits are smaller than solar composition for HF and HCl, and support the halogens' condensation in ammonium salts predicted by thermochemical models for the upper jovian troposphere. © 2004 Published by Elsevier Inc.
