RÉSUMÉ

New results of studying the north-south asymmetry in polarization of light reflected by Jupiter are presented. On the basis of 24-year (1981-2004) observational period, anticorrelation between asymmetry of Jupiter polarization and insolation has been found. The mechanism of influence of seasonal variations (with temperature changes) on north-south asymmetry of polarization has been proposed. Our estimates show that components of Jovian stratospheric haze which consists of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (crystal naphthalene, phenanthrene) particles may be formed by homogeneous nucleation. Temperature variations in Jupiter stratosphere have strong effect on PAH condensation; benzene does not condensate at T > 120 K. We have found that fluxes of solar cosmic rays may influence upon concentration of aerosol haze particles only through series of chemical reactions that produce source material for aerosol formation.
