Scientific paper

New spectra of Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan show weak methane bands in the region below 6000 A which have been known for many years in the spectra of Uranus and Neptune. Adopting the known abundance of methane on Jupiter, we have used a band model to determine CH4 abundances and broadening pressures for the other objects. The results indicate high values of the CH4 to H2 concentration ratio for Uranus and Neptune; for Titan, a surface pressure in excess of 1 atm is implied.
