DETERMINATION OF THE CONTENT OF MOLECULAR HYDROGEN IN ATMOSPHERES URANUS AND NEPTUNE

Abstract

In the spectra of Uranus and Neptune, the intensities of the absorption bands of molecular gases are significantly enhanced in comparison with the observed intensities on Jupiter and Saturn. In addition, due to the small angular dimensions, it is still practically impossible to study the nature of variations in the intensity of molecular absorption bands along the disk of the planets Uranus and Neptune. For these planets, absorption line profiles in their spectra are formed over all reflected radiation.
