Scientific paper

Expressions for the rate of cooling of electron gas in the ionosphere are analyzed in the light of data on the interaction of electrons with N2 and O2 molecules. It is shown that an allowance for the resonance excitation of the rotational levels of N2 leads to an increase in the total rate of cooling of the electron gas for an electron temperature of about 2000 K in spite of a decreased rate of excitation of vibrational levels. In addition, it is shown that the total rate of cooling of the electron gas in O2 is close to the value of Stubbe and Varnum (1972).
