Scientific paper

Existing spectroscopic data were considered in defining a theoretical model for a synthetic mm-spectrum for Jupiter. The spectrum covered the 700 microns-1 cm region and accounted for absorption by H2, NH3, PH3, HCN and CO as measured by the Voyager IRIS instrument. Nominal profiles were assigned to minor constituents. The results indicate that the HCN J=0, 1, 2 and 3 lines should have sufficient contrast to be observable at mm-wavelengths, provided mountaintop receivers are used for the survey.
