| dc.description.abstract | An analysis of the hydrogen aurora begins with a determination of the charge-state-equilibrium fractions of the proton/hydrogen atom flux traversing the atmosphere. Charge-exchange and ionization-stripping cross sections are compiled. Where no data exist, estimates of the required cross sections are made. Charge-state-equilibrium flux fractions are computed for N2, O2, and O targets. Net atmospheric charge-state-equilibrium flux fractions are then calculated as a function of altitude using the appropriate atmospheric constituent density ratios for these species. | en_US |
