Scientific paper

The detection of a number of unidentified emission lines in Jupiter's 2 micron spectral region for both the northern and southern aurorae is reported. Spectra taken as far back as September 1987 show that at least some of these features are long-lived. Some emission features are present in both the aurorae while others appear to reside only in one or the other. Certain emission lines are detected only at low latitudes. Altogether, two or more species besides H2 are inferred.
