  • Abstract
    We have determined the following upper limits for the mole fraction of hydrogen halides in Jupiterʹs atmosphere from Cassini/CIRS observations: [HF] <2.7×10−11, [HCl] <2.3×10−9, [HBr] <1.0×10−9, [HI] <7.6×10−9. These limits are smaller than solar composition for HF and HCl, and support the halogensʹ condensation in ammonium salts predicted by thermochemical models for the upper jovian troposphere.
