The Mariner 6 and 7 UV spectrometer experiments observed intense emissions from CO, O, and CO2(+) in the Martian airglow. Analysis shows that they are excited predominantly by the absorption of solar EUV photons by CO2 and constitute a major energy-loss mechanism for the thermosphere. Models of the thermospheric temperature profile and the airglow layer that demonstrate the effects of neutral chemistry and ionospheric composition are developed. With their aid, the observed CO Cameron-band emission scale height of 19 (plus or minus 4.5) km is shown to suggest an exospheric temperature of 315 (plus or minus 75) K. Consideration of other data suggests a 'best' value of about 350 K. Within the uncertainties in the excitation efficiencies and in the thermospheric cooling mechanisms, the observations are consistent with the measured electron density. There is no indication in the data that the ionosphere is modified by the solar wind below 200 km.
Results of two types of measurements made at a site in the center of the eclipse track during the total eclipse of Mar. 7, 1970. The O I forbidden 5577-A and 6300-A lines were measured looking vertically through the eclipse shadow. The intensities were approximately 1 kR, essentially the values obtained in recent rocket measurements of normal day airglow at altitudes above 100 km. This is consistent with the hypothesis that these lines originate primarily at altitudes well above the shadow from mechanisms which are not appreciably perturbed by the approaching shadow. Measurements were also made of the time variation of intensity of incident light during the shadow-band period before second contact. There are saw-tooth fluctuations with steep leading edges, as well as many high-frequency components of smaller amplitude. This time variation does not appear to be obviously related in a simple way to current theories of their production mechanisms, or to the visual appearance of shadow bands.
The energy difference between the 2S(sub 1/2) levels in the O-16(7+) ion has been determined by means of a Stark-quenching experiment to be 2215.6 plus or minus 7.5 GHz. The uncertainty is based on measured quantities only. This result is shown to be in agreement with the results of similar measurements made by other authors.
