Infrared emission from NO (Δυ=1) in an aurora: Spectral analysis and kinetic interpretation of HIRIS measurements

Abstract: High‐resolution NO (X²Π, Δυ=1) emission data, obtained in an aurora between 100 and 125 km by the rocket‐borne HIRIS cryogenic interferometer spectrometer, have been analyzed by a spectral simulation/least squares technique. The vibrational state population distributions determined by this method exhibit significant population of up to six vibrational states of NO and a multimodal behavior with vibrational quantum number that is not predicted by present models. This result is interpreted in terms of direct aur… Show more

“…and Kirillov (1993) and Kirillov and Aladjev (1995) used a model to calculate the intensities of infrared emissions 5.3 and 2X7 lm in the aurora. The theoretical estimations of energy eciencies of the emissions were in agreement with rocket and aircraft data (Huppi and Stair, 1979;Rawlins et al, 1981;Reidy et al, 1982). The eciencies mean the fractions of auroral electron energy deposited are those radiated in the 5.3 and 2.7-lm emissions.…”

“…The eciencies mean the fractions of auroral electron energy deposited are those radiated in the 5.3 and 2.7-lm emissions. The anomalous depression found by Rawlins et al (1981) in the vibrational population of level v 2 of NO was reproduced theoretically using many quantum transitions Dv v i in Eq. (5), and greater atomic oxygen concentration than that given by MSIS-83 model.…”
