Scientific paper

Using nightglow data the mean values that the rate coefficients of the energy transfer processes yielding O(1S) must have if O2(c), O2(A), O2(A-prime) or O2(5 Pi g) is to be the main precursor to the green line are calculated. These values, combined with measurements that Slanger and Black (1976) have made on oxygen-argon afterglows, seem to exclude O2(A) or O2(A-prime) from being the precursor but are consistent with O2(c) being the precursor. Some results on O(1S) deactivation may be relevant to the O2(c) precursor hypothesis. The question of whether or not O2(5 Pi g) is a significant precursor to the green line in the nightglow is left unanswered.
