The ultraviolet spectrometer UVSIPS onboard the auroral probe satellite: an example of simultaneous Measurements of intensity of the auroral OI λ1304A and λ1356A emissions, and particle fluxes

摘要

A method of satellite measurements of the auroral glow characteristics in the vacuum UV spectral region and of the characteristics of the polar ionosphere is considered. The design and the main characteristics of the ul- traviolet spectrometer UVSIPS placed onboard the Auroral Probe satellite are de- scribed. As an example, the measured intensity profiles of the auroral λ1304A and λ1356A [OI] emissions obtained during a substorm are examined. We also present the data of parallel measurements of the auroral elec- tron and ion distributions obtained with the SKA-3 unit of instruments.
