Scientific paper

Methods of determining helium on Jupiter (and the Jovian planets) are critically surveyed. Current information is consistent with solar abundance, He/H2 = 0.11 by number. The available lines of evidence are the mean density, spectral-line broadening, and stellar occultations. Methods usable from spacecraft flying by are discussed. Observation of far-infrared emission has great promise, but we may have to await the development of entry probes for the greatest assurance.
