Jupiter spectroscopy: polar arc observation
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2011 6:47 pm
An observation of a specific feature of Jupiter, polar arcs visible is the infrared CH4 (methane) band :
I use a C11 and a LISA spectrograph configured for infrared observation.
Jupiter is very dark in the CH4 band and the faint polar structure is visible by contrast at this wavelength.
