Scientific paper

As on Voyager 1, the infrared spectroscopy and radiometry instrument on Voyager 2 returned a large number of spectral and radiometric data on Jupiter and its satellites for varying conditions of latitude, longitude, local time, and phase and emission angles. The Voyager 2 average spectrum is slightly noisier than that from Voyager 1. The paper presents selected examples of results from the Voyager 2 infrared investigation, with particular reference to latitudinal variation of the abundance ratio of ethane to acetylene, atmospheric thermal structure, Jupiter's ring, and satellites.
