Ap. Venger et al., A SEARCH FOR 1404-MHZ H-2(-SOURCE SGR B2() LINE EMISSION IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF JUPITER AND THE RADIO), Astronomy letters, 23(3), 1997, pp. 370-372
Measurements of the spectrum of Jupiter and the radio source Sgr B2 in
the 1404.49-MHz line for the superfine transition (G'G'-GF) = 3/2, 5/
2-1/2, 3/2 of the molecular ion H-2(+) are observed at the 4 sigma lev
el. Various models that could lead to a significant abundance of H-2() are discussed. Expected brightness temperatures are estimated.
