The influence exerted by the Auger effect on the spectral distribution of photoelectrons generated as a burst of X-ray emission impinges on the outer atmosphere is estimated by considering a prompt point source at a height 400 km up with an isotropic initial Planck spectral distribution and effective radiation temperature 1 keV. Computational results were narrowed down near the K-absorption edges at 23 A for oxygen and at 31 A for nitrogen (maximum Auger cross sections). The Auger electron energies fall within narrow ranges of 315-367 eV for nitrogen and 456-509 eV for oxygen.
