Scientific paper

The HD 5-0 R(0) line on Saturn and Uranus has been observed. Values for the D/H abundance ratio computed from models for the atmospheres of these two planets are 5.5 + or - 2.9 times 10 to the minus fifth power for Saturn and 3.0 + or - 1.2 times 10 to the minus fifth power for Uranus. The D/H ratio for Jupiter of 5.1 + or - 0.7 times 10 to the minus fifth power found from a measurement of the HD 4-0 P(1) line is bracketed by the values found for Saturn and Uranus.
