Scientific paper

The production efficiency for 6300 A emission by energetic electrons was studied with the ISIS 2 spacecraft by comparing the optical emissions with the low energy electron fluxes. It is shown that the production efficiency falls sharply above about 300 eV, so that this emission is primarily produced by electrons with lower energies than that. Maps from ISIS 2 of the 6300 A emission may, therefore, be interpreted as fluxes of electrons with energies less than 300 eV.
