Magnetospheric Physics: Auroral Phenomena
Scientific paper
We conclude from a study of the production and loss of O(1D) in auroras that the ``traditional'' sources, direct electron impact excitation of atomic oxygen and dissociative recombination of molecular oxygen ions, can account for most of the OI 6300-Å emission rate. In a specific application of the model to the comprehensive observation of an auroral event by Sharp et al. (1979), we show that there is no compelling need for the reaction N(2D)+O2->NO+O(1D). We also present a study of the sensitivity of the red line emission rate to a wide variety of input conditions.
