abstract:

    line_1:        H and H2 are the main constituents of the upper atmospheres of the giant
    line_2:        planets and Titan, H is abundant in their exospheres and magnetospheres and N2,
    line_3:        produced by photolysis of NH3, dominates the lower atmosphere of Titan. The
    line_4:        spatial distribution of these elements is determined by the photochemical and
    line_5:        particle dissociation processes responsible for their production and by the
    line_6:        transport mechanisms responsible for their distribution. The presence of these
    line_7:        planetary constituents is revealed by emissions of the HI, 1216 A Lyman alpha
    line_8:        line, the H2 Lyman and Werner, and the N2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield bands in the
    line_9:        1000-2000A region, all produced by particle impact excitation and/or resonance
    line_10:       scattering of sunlight. Spatial and spectral images of the H, H2 and N2
    line_11:       atmospheres around these objects, consequently, represent key diagnostic tools
    line_12:       in the investigation of these fundamental planetary phenomena. Moreover, Lyman
    line_13:       alpha images of the giant planets taken at high enough spatial resolution will
    line_14:       permit a determination of the abundance of deuterium, an extremely sensitive
    line_15:       tracer of primordial nucleosynthesis. We propose to obtain a series of high
    line_16:       resolution images of the giant planets' upper atmospheres and near-planetary
    line_17:       environments in the far uv that are unobtainable from the ground or from the
    line_18:       present generation of planetary probes.
