Scientific paper

Voyager UV spectrometer measurements of CH4 and haze of the Triton atmosphere combined with the haze brightness profile determined by the narrow angle camera are used to infer a haze optical thickness of 0.024 at 1500 A and 0.0078 in the spectral range of the narrow angle camera centered at 4700A, rho/gamma = 0.36 +/- 0.1 g/cu cm (gamma is the quantum yield of condensate), and values of r(c) varying from 0.1 +/- 0.02 micron at 30 km to 0.15 +/- 0.03 micron near the surface. Other auxiliary properties of the haze are also determined. The value found for rho/gamma corresponds to a packing coefficient of 0.6 gamma if C2H4 is the main condensible species.
