Abstract
Molecular fluorescence emission rate factors for the strong bands of the nitric oxide gamma system have been calculated using recent branching ratios and different temperatures. For the 1-0 gamma band the effects of self-absorption by NO have been taken into account, and effective emission rate factors were calculated for a range of NO column densities at several different temperatures. For column densities near 10 16 cm −2 self-absorption corrections to the emission rate factor can be significant. The emission rate factor for the 1-0 gamma band is 7.19 or 7.68 × 10 −6 photons molecule −1 sec −1 depending upon the use of experimental or theoretical branching ratios.
