UV and Optical Spectra Produced by the EXCEDE III Experiment.
Abstract
A goal of the EXCEDE III (Excitation by Electron Deposition) atmospheric energy deposition experiment was to monitor the spectral excitations from the energy deposition profile produced by the - Ampere - 2.5 keV electron beam. During the EXCEDE III rocket flight on April 27, 1990, ultraviolet and optical spectra covering the wavelength region between 1800 and 800 A were measured with two Ebert-Fastie spectrometers. Spectral features have been identified and line production efficiencies have been calculated. Finally, the measured spectra are compared with those obtained from natural aurora.
