RE THE INFRARED EMISSION OF THE NIGHT SKY AND THE AURORA,

Abstract

In a previous communication (Dok. Akad. Nauk., 82, 1 (1952)) the auroral spectra in the infrared region from 8000 to 11,000 A, obtained in March 1951, was described. In this paper the results of the photometry of the spectra are presented in tabular form. Four of the five spectrograms represent auroral spectra, and one is a spectrum of the night sky luminescence taken during the same period on a night when there was no aurora. The table gives the density of the negatives in the regions of maximum blackening, and the relative intensity, calculated therefrom, of the emission in the corresponding regions of the spectrum. In graphing the intensity, the intensity of the emission in the 7800 A region of the auroral spectrum was taken as 100, and the relative intensities of the night sky luminescence are shown in terms of this unit.
