Abstract
Recent high-resolution 2.10- to 2.13-mu m equatorial spectra of Jupite r show several prominent absorption lines in addition to a narrow H-2 1-0 S(1) absorption. Comparison with laboratory spectra of the H-2 dim er reveals excellent wavelength coincidences with five of the jovian a bsorptions. We conclude that the jovian lines are due to the H-2 dimer . No other jovian lines are clearly detected in this spectral interval . (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
