Abstract
Radiative enhancement factors for the CN violet and N + 2 first negative band systems caused by non-equilibrium thermochemistry in the shock layer of a blunt-nosed vehicle during Earth entry are reported. The results are based on radiometric measurements obtained with the aid of a combustion-driven shock tube. The technique of converting the shock-tube measurements into predictions of the enhancement factors for the blunt-body case is described herein, and could be useful for similar applications of other shock-tube measurements.
