Null results for the Voyager 2 Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) instrument observations of Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) impacts of Jupiter.

A preliminary examination of the Voyager 2 Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) data of Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) impacts of Jupiter 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 Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) poster paper 'Voyager 2 UVS Observations of Jupiter During the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impact Events', by R. J. Vervack et al.

对旅行者2号紫外线光谱仪（UVS）在 Shoemaker-Levy 9（SL9）彗星撞击木星事件中的初步分析显示，并未发现与撞击现象相对应的明显迹象。为了探究数据中是否存在更为微妙的与撞击相关事件的可能性，并确立非检测到撞击事件的形式化统计上限，我们执行了如 R. J. Vervack 等人所撰写的行星科学部（Division for Planetary Sciences, DPS）海报论文《旅行者2号紫外线光谱仪观测木星彗星 Shoemaker-Levy 9 撞击事件》中所述的统计分析。
