The predicted abundances of deuterium-bearing gases in the atmospheres of Jupiter and SaturnThe first set of comprehensive thermochemical equilibrium and chemical kinetic calculations on the chemistry of deuterium-bearing gases in the deep atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn is presented. The sensitivity of the results to variations in elemental and isotopic abundances is studied. Isotopic fractionation effects in the C-13/C12, N-15/N-14, and O-18/O-16 ratios in nonequilibrium species such as CO, CO2, HCN, and N2 are briefly considered.
