Scientific paper

The large masses of the Jovian planets make it likely that they have retained their primordial abundance of material accreted from the solar nebula. The helium abundance in the upper atmospheres of these planets reflects the primordial abundance and the structural evolution of the planet. We propose to determine the Helium fraction in the upper atmosphere of each Jovian planet by measuring the ratio of the refractivities of its atmosphere for two wavelengths during stellar occultations.
