Emission of the NO gamma (1,0) band at 2150 A has been observed by a rocket-borne spectrophotometer in an IBC II(+) aurora. The nu-prime progression of the gamma-system does not appear in the spectrum. The observed emission rate of the 2150 A feature increases relative to N2(+) first negative band emission with increasing altitude. We suggest radiative recombination of NO(+) ions with electrons as a possible excitation mechanism compatible with the data.
