Studies of Excited Species in Planetary Upper Atmospheres

During the period of this portion of the on-going project, we investigated aspects of the upper atmospheres of Venus, Mars, Titan and Jupiter. During this period, we published four journal articles and one book chapter, copies of which are attached. The work reported in these manuscripts was in almost all cases begun under previous projects in the Planetary Atmospheres Program with the same title. I will summarize the papers, and another project that we worked on during this time period for which the papers will be published later.
