Scientific paper

Satellite measurements of relevant ionospheric parameters were used to determine the rate coefficient for quenching of O+(2D) by electrons as a function of temperature. The results agree with the theoretically determined rate coefficient to within statistical uncertainties. The study provides confirmation of the absolute magnitude of the rate coefficient given by theoretical calculation at these temperatures, but it also indicates a somewhat steeper dependence on electron temperature than that predicted by theory.
