Hi all,
I was wondering about the chemical composition of giant planets (in our solar system, as far as I know you can just detect exoplanet by rv or photometric survey but no clue about their chemistry). I know that in first approximation you can consider them to have kind of solar like compositon. But I was wondering if the recent missions - Galileo on Jupiter and Cassini on Saturn- have provided any specific measurement. I have been reading an -old- review about the chemical composition measured by Voyager, and the value of helium was quite low (although with rather large error bars...) http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1983prhe.work..139G Thanks!
