Physics

Scientific paper

The oxygen nightglow emissions in the visible spectral range have been known since the early observations with the Venera spacecraft. The more recent observations with the VIRTIS (Visible and InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer) instrument on board the ESA mission Venus Express, allow a detailed study of the Herzberg II system of O2, reporting a maximum value of 200 kR for the integrated intensity of the progression. The (0-7), (0- 8), (0-9), (0-10) and the (0-11) bands of the Herzberg II system have been identified in the limb geometry observation data. In this work, we present results about the vertical profile of the observed bands, as well as the total integrated intensity of each single band.
