Abstract
Reinvestigation of the nitrogen afterglow using specially purified nitrogen indicates that an intermediary or precursor in the reaction path leading from free nitrogen atoms to the emission state is quenched by N2 but not by He. The O2 atmospheric bands and the O I 5577‐Å line were not detected at the NO null titration point. The O2 Herzberg bands are independent of pressure in both N2 and 1% N2 in He systems, indicating that equilibrium exists between the radiative state and free atomic oxygen.Keywords
