Voyager 2 UV Spectrometer Attempted Observations of D/Shoemaker-Levy 9 (Null Results)

Status: ARCHIVED

Abstract: A preliminary examination of the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) data revealed no obvious detections of anything which might correspond with the impact phenomena. In order to investigate the possibility that more subtle impact-related events were present in the data and to establish a formal statistical upper limit for the non-detection of the impacts, we performed a statistical analysis as described in the DPS poster paper 'Voyager 2 UVS Observations of Jupiter During the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impact Events', by R. J. Vervack et al.
