Fluorescence efficiencies of the A-X and B-X systems of CO2+ in comets

Abstract

Fluorescence models of the A-X and B-X band systems of CO2 have been constructed using molecular parameters available in literature. The models have been compared with the spectra of comets Austin (1989c1) andP/Giacobini-Zinner. From the best fit, the fluorescence efficiencies of the A-X and B-X band systems have been derived. © 1999, The Seismological Society of Japan, Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences, The Volcanological Society of Japan, The Geodetic Society of Japan, The Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences.
