Neptune's atmospheric composition from AKARI infrared spectroscopy

Aims. Disk-averaged infrared spectra of Neptune between 1.8 and 13 μm, obtained by the AKARI infrared camera (IRC) in May 2007, have been analysed to (a) determine the globally-averaged stratospheric temperature structure; (b) derive the abundances of stratospheric hydrocarbons; and (c) detect fluor...
