Importance of H3+
* Dominant ion in H2-dominated plasmas
* 2 fundamental seen in emission on Jupiter
* 2 seen in absorption in interstellar medium
* As simplest polyatomic molecule, it is a benchmark for ab initio theory

Why Study High Energy H3+?
* 22 band discovered on Jupiter, higher bands may be observable
* Emission from hot astronomical objects (planetary nebulae?)
NGC 6543. Balick AJ 94, 671 (1987)
* Refinement of theoretical understanding
* Breaking the barrier to linearity
