| Abstract: | The recent detection of such trace constituents as germane, the tetrahydride of germanium GeH4, in the atmosphere of Jupiter has generated considerable interest in both the chemistry and structure of the Jovian atmosphere. With this in mind, the detection of GeH4 in the Jovian atmosphere is discussed, and computer simulated absorption profiles of the J-multiplets R(0)-R(10) under Jovian atmospheric conditions are shown. |
