Scientific paper

The range of applicability of the transport equation for photoelectrons in the ionosphere (Mantas, 1975) is extended to thermal energies. The extension enables one to calculate the photoelectron distribution in the important low energy region (i.e. less than 3 eV), where most of the thermal electron gas heating takes place, and thereby to obtain more accurate excitation rates for the low energy electronic, vibrational and rotational states of the ionospheric constituents than was formerly possible.
