Scientific paper

It is suggested that excited hydrogen atoms arising from the deposition of protons in the upper atmosphere, as inferred from the observed auroral H[alpha] emission, may provide an important secondary source of auroral ionization. The mechanisms discussed are photoionization of O2 by HL[beta] and collisions of the second kind between excited hydrogen atoms and O2.
