The effect of a monoenergetic flux of electrons on a model atmosphere of the nightside thermosphere of Venus was examined. The neutral model chosen is that of Hedin for high solar activity and l65 degrees solar zenith angle. The model is based on measurements made by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter Neutral Mass Spectrometer. Four species were included in the calculation: CO2, O, CO, and N2. The numerical method that was chosen for energy deposition of the primary electrons is the continuous slowing down approximation. The secondary electron distribution was computed using the empirically determined shape of the differential cross section.
