Scientific paper
Trailed spectra of standard B stars have been used as the 'flat' field light source for spatial calibration of IUE large-aperture observations of the north and south polar regions of Jupiter. Longward of 2000 A, the south polar spectrum is lower than the north polar one by a factor of 2.5; shortward of 2000 A, strong C2H2 absorption appears in both north polar and midlatitude spectra, while neither continuum nor band absorption features of C2H2 appear in the south polar spectrum. The very low reflectivity of the south polar region calls for the presence of a stratospheric absorber at pressures lower than 10 mbar.
