Scientific paper

A multichannel stepping filter spectrophotometer aboard a sounding rocket was used to measure the O2(b 1 Sigma g + -X 3 Sigma g -)(0-0) auroral emission at 7619 A. The observed integrated intensities of the O2(b 1 Sigma g +)(0-0), O I 5577 A, and N2(+) 4278 A emissions were 28, 40, and 6 kR, respectively, and the observed I(7619 A)/I(4278 A) ratio of 4.5 is an order of magnitude lower than that obtained in recent theoretical calculations or deduced from ground-based photometric measurements.
