A detailed understanding of the pertinent chemical reactions that produce the electronically excited species, and of the competing quenching reactions that remove the internal energy in radiation-less processes is needed to accurately calculate plume spectral signatures and absolute radiances (in the short wavelength region), and their temporal/spatial evolution in the high atmosphere. To facilitate these efforts, we are currently carrying Out laboratory investigations to elucidate the reaction mechanism(s) in the oxidation of CH, CH2, C2H, and C2O with O-atoms and O2. 收起
