(abstract) Constraints on the Venus Deep Atmosphere Composition from Near Infrared Observations of the Night SideSpatially resolved NIR images and spectra of Venus obtained in 1983 revealed high-contrast emission features on the night side of the planet at wavelengths near 1.74 and 2.3 (micro)m. Subsequent observational and modeling studies confirmed that this radiation originates as thermal emission from the hot lower atmosphere (25-40 km).
