摘要: It is found that the equivalent widths of lines 4-0 H2 quadrupole band on Uranus and Neptune are substantially smaller than values by some previous observers. An analysis results based a range atmospheric models yields abundances 240 + or - 60 km-amagats for greater approximately 200 km amagats Neptune.
