High space and time resolution ultraviolet auroral images from the Viking spacecraft.
Abstract
The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of the UV Imager on the Viking satellite for auroral imaging. The combination of real time operation, discrimination against visible light, excellent spatial and temporal resolution make this a very valuable research instrument.
