Scientific paper

High-resolution spectra at 2 microns in the southern auroral region of Jupiter are presented which may represent the first astronomical spectroscopic detection of H3(+). The derived rotational temperature of H3(+) is in the range 1000-1200 K. Such strong H3(+) lines could be used in future ground-based monitoring of the Jovian auroral activity and to search for this molecule ion in the interstellar medium.
