Jupiter: An Unidentified Feature in the 5-Micron Spectrum of the North Equatorial Belt

Abstract

Grating spectra of the North Equatorial Belt of Jupiter 4.5 and 5.1 microns, obtained with a nominal resolving power of 180, are presented. An absorption feature centered at 4.73 microns and not due to a known constituent has been found. Its possible identification is discussed.
