Dalgarno. 1979. “Ionization, Luminosity, and Heating of the Upper Atmosphere of Mars.” Journal of Geophysical Research 84 (A12): 7315. doi:10.1029/ja084ia12p07315.0148-0227http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:30410807A model based upon Viking data is constructed of the Martian atmosphere, and a comprehensive quantitative discussion is given of the measurements of the ultraviolet dayglow. A detailed assessment is made of the heating of the neutral and ionized components of the atmosphere arising from the absorption of ultraviolet solar radiation.en-USJournal Article2017-02-2210.1029/JA084iA12p07315
