Effects of Various Factors on the Intensities of CO Cameron Bands Dayglow on Mars: Modeling and Observations
Abstract
The CO Cameron bands are the prominent features of dayglow on Mars as observed by SPICAM/MEX and IUVS/MAVEN. In this paper, we present an analysis of the observations of CO Cameron bands dayglow obtained by SPICAM and IUVS. It has been noticed that there is a significant increase ($\sim$3 times) in the intensities of CO Cameron bands dayglow observed by IUVS in comparison to the intensities observed by SPICAM. An attempt is made to explain various factors that caused the increase in the intensities of CO Cameron bands dayglow provided by IUVS in compare with the SPICAM observations. We have also developed a comprehensive model to calculate the emission intensities of CO Cameron bands at nearly same geographical conditions of measurements made by IUVS and SPICAM for a few cases. The detailed study of model results help us to understand the effect of various input parameters on the intensity of CO Cameron bands dayglow at nearly same geographical conditions of IUVS and SPICAM measurements.
