Scientific paper

TRITON IS AMONG THE MOST SCIENTIFICALLY INTERESTING OBJECTS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. ITS ATMOSPHERE AND SURFACE ARE KNOWN TO CONSIST OF CH4+N2, AND LIKELY CONTAIN ADDITIONAL HYDROCARBONS. WE PROPOSE TO CONDUCT UV SPECTROSCOPY OF TRITON FROM 1800-3200 ANGSTROMS; VOYAGER DID NOT COVER THIS SPECTRAL REGION. A KEY OBJECTIVE IS TO OBTAIN ABSOLUTELY CALIBRATED SPECTRA. OUR DETAILED SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES CENTER ON ATMOSPHERIC AND SURFACE STUDIES AS DETAILED BELOW. THEY'LL BE INTERPRETED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE VOYAGER 2 ENCOUNTER RESULTS. IN GENERAL, WE PLAN TO USE THE SUPERIOR SPECTRAL RESOLUTION, BANDWIDTH, AND SENSITIVITY OF HST IN THE UV TO ENHANCE THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND SURFACE OF TRITON BEGUN BY VOYAGER 2.
