Scientific paper

The UV observations of planetary atmospheres were used to study the upper parts of the atmospheres, below and above the homopause. The IUE observations significantly contribute to knowledge of the aeronomy and photochemistry of planetary atmospheres. On Venus, SO2 is detected; ozone is observed on Mars; C2H2 and NH3 are detected in the Jovian upper atmosphere; acetylene is detected also on Saturn and Uranus; aurorae are detected and mapped on Jupiter and Saturn; Lyman alpha excess, interpreted by Voyager as electroglow, is observed on Uranus. The IUE can be useful for monitoring programs such as ozone on Mars and aurorae on giant planets.
