Scientific paper

The distributions of Lyman-alpha intensities measured on different days in the sunlit exosphere of Venus by the Lyman-alpha photometer aboard the Venera 9 and Venera 10 orbiters in 1975 exhibit a two-scale height distribution. In addition to the intensity, the linewidth of the emission was also measured with absorption-resonance cells filled with hydrogen and deuterium. The results show some evidence that in addition to a cold and classical exosphere component, a second population of H atoms is present at high altitudes, but are not generated at the exobase level.
