Abstract
Fourier transform spectroscopy has been used extensively to probe the atmospheres of the planets and of smaller bodies of the solar system, either from the Earth, from an airplane or from space. It is a technique particularly well adapted to the detection of atmospheric constituents, to measurements of the abundances and vertical distributions of the gaseous species and to the determination of the vertical temperature structures of the atmospheres. It is equally well suited to the detection of rock-forming minerals or ices at the surface of satellites and asteroids. With the recent improvements in spectrometers and infrared detectors technology it has also become possible to make detailed studies of gaseous emissions from bright comets, such as Halley's comet, by Fourier transform spectroscopy.
