## Abstract The detailed mechanisms for excitation of all the night glow emissions remain very much in doubt. The green atomic oxygen line appears to be excited by a modification of the Chapman mechanism, although recent laboratory studies still show some inconsistent features. The red atomic oxyge
The absorption spectrum of the pink afterglow of molecular nitrogen in the vacuum ultraviolet has been analyzed at high resolution. The spectrum exhibits hot bands involving vibrational levels of the electronic ground state as high as v Π Ο 19. Experimentally determined term values are derived for v
