Scientific paper

The center-of-disk reflectivity of Jupiter in the wavelength range from 1450 to 3150 Å has been computed from 30 low-dispersion IUE spectra taken during solar maximum in 1978 - 1980. A vertically inhomogeneous radiative transfer program is used to compute model reflectivities of various stratospheric compositions for comparison. Above 1800 Å, ammonia and acetylene provide a good fit to the data. At shorter wavelengths the fit would be much improved by a small amount of propadiene/allene (C3H4). Additional absorption around 1600 Å can be reproduced best with the presence of cyclopropane (C3H6). The data are too noisy to detect possible CO Cameron band absorption near 2000 Å.
