Scientific paper

Oxygen O2(a1 g) nightglow emission study is a key for understanding the Venus upper atmosphere chemistry and dynamics. Atomic oxygen is produced on the Venus day side as a result of the CO2 photolysis by solar EUV. It is carried from the day to the night side by the subsolar to antisolar (SS-AS) circulation where the oxygen atoms recombine, producing the molecular oxygen in the a1 g excited state. The 1.27 μm airglow is produced due to emission of the exited O2 molecules which relax to the ground (X3Σg) level.
