Scientific paper

A study is made of the effect on theoretical electron-density profiles
of vibrational enhancement in the rate of the reaction O(+) + N2 yields
NO(+) + N. It is shown that the F-region electron-density depression
that is observed in stable auroral red (SAR) arcs may be caused by
vibrational excitation of molecular nitrogen.
