Detection of propadiene (CH $_{2}$ CCH $_{2}$ ), propene (C $_{3}$ H $_{6}$ ) and non-detection of propane (C $_{3}$ H $_{8}$ ) in Jupiter's northern polar stratosphere

James A. Sinclair, Thomas K. Greathouse, Rohini S. Giles +8

We report the first detection of stratospheric propadiene (CH $_{2}$ CCH $_{2}$ ) and propene (C $_{3}$ H $_{6}$ ) at Jupiter's mid-to-high northern latitudes using IRTF-TEXES measurements recorde…
