Scientific paper

Reflected sunlight from the Jovian ring discovered by the Voyager spacecraft was detected at 2.2 microns. A chopping secondary photometric system and an indium antimonide photovoltaic apparatus were used in the detection. The search for the ring was conducted at 2.2 microns because at this wavelength scattered radiation from the planetary disk is reduced by the strong molecular absorption features in Jupiter's atmosphere.
