Abstract

In this paper emissions of 5577 A and 6300 A lines of OI in Martian atmosphere have been investigated. It has been found that for the 5577A line there are two peaks at 90 and 120 km and its total intensity is  about 3.5 kR. For the 6300A line, since the rate of quenching by CO2 molecules is not known, its emission profile is obtained for two values of quenching coefficient, namely, 1 X 10-13 cm3 sec-1 and 1 X 10-12 cm-3 sec-1. It has been found to have a broad peak at 100-.140 km. Its intensity has been found to be 3 and 1 kR for the two values of rate coefficient.
