Since the original laboratory detection of an H3+ spectrum 20 years ago, the search has been on for astronomical observations of this important and fundamental molecular ion. Successful detection of H3+ in gas-giant planets, supernova ejecta and the interstellar medium as well as the prospects for future observations are discussed. The role H3+ has in determining the atmospheric structure of both the gas giants and cool metal-free planets is explored.
自20年前首次在实验室检测到H3+光谱以来，人们一直在寻找对这种重要的基本分子离子进行天文观测的方法。本文讨论了在气态巨行星、超新星抛射物和星际介质中成功检测到H3+的情况以及未来观测的前景。还探讨了H3+在确定气态巨行星和无金属冷行星大气结构中所起的作用。
