Scientific paper

The instruments, techniques, and analysis methods employed in IR observations of solar-system objects are discussed and illustrated with sample data. Particular attention is given to (1) high-resolution (Doppler-limited) spectra of H2O in Comet Halley and Comet Wilson (1986l), obtained with the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory in 1985-1986, and (2) scanning observations of Jovian thermal emission, obtained with the NASA IRTF in 1987 and subjected to detailed time-series analysis to investigate atmospheric motion. The data are presented in spectra, energy-level diagrams, maps, and graphs and briefly characterized.
