Near-infrared auroral spectra
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7347388
The near-infrared spectrum of an aurora in comparison with the high-latitude night airglow has been obtained using a wide-field interferometer-spectrometer. The spectral coverage is from about 0.9 to 1.6 micrometers at a resolving power of 1600. The principal auroral features which were observed during a Class III auroral breakup the night of April 19, 1974, at Poker Flat, Alaska, are the N2(+) Meinel bands, the N2 First Positive bands, and certain atomic 0 and N emission lines. Comparisons are made with laboratory spectra. (GRA)
