Intensity of the /R/Q sub zero branch in the nu-9 fundamental of ethaneRecent observations of Jupiter and Saturn at 12 microns have shown strong emission in the nu-9 fundamental of ethane. In order to derive the abundance of ethane from the planetary observations, the absolute intensity of the (R)Q sub zero branch of the nu-9 fundamental was measured, yielding a value of 0.74 plus or minus 0.09/sq cm/atm at 300 K. In order to study the absorption features of the nu-9 fundamental, the computed rotational structure of the band was compared with the laboratory spectrum.
