Scientific paper

The charge exchange of metastable 2D oxygen ions with N2 in the thermosphere is investigated through analysis of N2 (+) measurements and related data obtained by the Atmosphere Explorer-C satellite. The rate coefficient for the charge exchange process is found to be 5 + or - 1.7 times 10 to the negative 10th power cu cm per sec. A rate coefficient is also developed for atomic oxygen quenching of the metastable 2D oxygen ions.
