A measurement of the low-energy auroral electron flux distribution between 0.5 and 80 eV reveals structure between 0.5 and 10.0 eV. The structure is due to the thermal electron Maxwellian distribution and electron energy loss to thermal electrons, molecular nitrogen, and atomic oxygen. Some physical process in the auroral plasma causes the deduced loss function to differ from theory. Reasonable agreement is obtained between calculated and measured N2 second positive emission.
