Scientific paper

Theoretical calculations of photoelectron fluxes in the upper atmosphere of Mars are performed and the results are compared with theoretical model calculations for photoelectron impact. Photoelectron impact excitation rate of CO2(+), N2, and CO are calculated and compared with earlier results. Zenith airglow intensities of the fourth positive bands of CO in the atmosphere of Mars due to the interaction of solar EUV radiation are also calculated. Self-absorption in CO is included in the calculations and its effect is shown by comparison with results obtained without absorption. A band transmission function which can be used in the calculation is presented at rotational and kinetic temperatures of 175 and 1000 K for the fourth positive band system of CO.
