Modification of Jupiter’s stratosphere three weeks after the 2009 impact

► Mid-IR ethane emission lines by HIPWAC (R∼1E6) 3 weeks after 2009 Jupiter impact. ► Increased ethane abundance retrieved at the impact region (∼60%). ► Elevated continuum at impact region modeled with opacity around 45–60 mbar level. ► Reduced continuum
