Abstract
Observed oscillations in the visible continuum emission (5000 Å) are studied considering the usual visible emission mechanism, NO + O (both two-body and three-body paths). Characteristic parameters of internal gravity waves are obtained using Hines' linear theory. Values of the kinetic energy density ϵ, and temperature variations Δθ, due to gravity waves are calculated. The results ( ϵ ~ 10 6 cm 2 s −2, Δθ = 4–9 K) are in agreement with those obtained by means of different techniques reported in the literature. A similar analysis of the simultaneous green-line emission data is made and a comparison is drawn between the results obtained for both emissions. An expression relating relative brightness of continuum emission and relative perturbations of atmospheric density is proposed.
