英文摘要 | The CO_2~+ ultraviolet doublet (UVD) emission near 289 nm is an important feature of dayside airglow emission from planetary upper atmospheres.In this study, we analyzed the brightness profiles of CO_2~+ UVD emission on Mars by using the extensive observations made by the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph on board the recent Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution spacecraft.Strong solar cycle and solar zenith angle variations in peak emission intensity and altitude were revealed by the data: (1) Both the peak intensity and altitude increase with increasing solar activity, and (2) the peak intensity decreases, whereas the peak altitude increases, with increasing solar zenith angle.These observations can be favorably interpreted by the solar-driven scenario combined with the fact that photoionization and photoelectron impact ionization are the two most important processes responsible for the production of excitedstate CO_2~+ and consequently the intensity of CO_2~+ UVD emission.Despite this, we propose that an extra driver, presumably related to the complicated variation in the background atmosphere, such as the occurrence of global dust storms, is required to fully interpret the observations.In general, our analysis suggests that the CO_2~+ UVD emission is a useful diagnostic of the variability of the dayside Martian atmosphere under the influences of both internal and external drivers. |
