Analysis and Interpretation of Mars Dayglow Altitude Profiles
The Mariner 4, Mariner 6 and 7, Mariner 9, and Viking 1 and 2 missions provided the first quantitative information about the structure, energetics, and dynamics of the Mars atmosphere.

Remote Oxygen Sensing By Ionospheric Excitation (ROSIE)
We can demonstrate an approach to remotely detect O-atoms at the altitudes relevant to IM experiments, which we call remote oxygen sensing by ionospheric excitation (ROSIE).

Venus Ground-Based Observations: a Proposal
We have executed an efficient procedure for time-sharing to achieve a rapid Venus observation on Keck I/HIRES.

CESAR (Compact Echelle Spectrograph for Aeronomical Research) Opto-Mechanical Design
Our goal is to significantly expand the range of upper atmospheric science investigations (nightglow, aurora, and dayglow emissions) by providing to aeronomers a high-throughput, high-dispersion, large-passband spectrograph.

Visible Dayglows of the CO2 Planets
We have performed laboratory experiments on CO2 photodissociation in the appropriate spectral region, utilizing synchrotron radiation from the Berkeley Advanced Light Source (ALS) in the 11-14 eV range.

Laboratory Measurement of the Co Cameron Bands and Visible Emissions Following Vuv Photodisassociation of CO2
The experimental results confirmed that once a triplet state excitation threshold is exceeded, a fraction of the Cameron band emission is accompanied by visible emission.

Astronomical Sky Spectra from the 29-31 October 2003 Geomagnetic Superstorms: Observations of O(+)((2)D(O)-(4)S(O)) and Other Emissions
High-resolution spectra of the night sky at near-equatorial latitudes have been obtained with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph on the 8.2 m Kueyen telescope, European Southern Observatory, Cerro Paranal, Chile, during the 29–31 October 2003 geomagnetic superstorms.

Photoemission Phenomena in the Solar System
We present current information in various categories—measurements of the airglows of the terrestrial planets, the dayglows of the outer planets and satellites, aurora throughout the solar system, observations of cometary spectra, and the emission of X-rays from a variety of planetary bodies.

Discovery of the Atomic Oxygen Green Line in the Venus Night Airglow
Green line emission at 557.7 nanometers arising from the O(1S – 1D) transition of atomic oxygen has been observed on the nightside of Venus with HIRES, the echelle spectrograph on the W. M. Keck I 10-meter telescope.
