Scientific paper

We present a laboratory determination of line intensities and pressure broadening coefficients for the v9 (10.01 micron) and v10 (11.89 micron) bands of allene. Allene is predicted to be a trace constituent of Titan's atmosphere and measurements of its abundance will yield important information about the atmospheric chemistry of that body. Laboratory spectra were obtained at temperatures ranging from 200 to 300 K using the McMath-Pierce FTS instrument at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Both self- and N2- broadening coefficients were obtained. The v9 and v10 bands lie within the spectral range of the CIRS spectrometer on the Cassini spacecraft, presently on its way to the Saturnian system. CIRS will be capable of measuring allene at low abundances.
