Resumo

The integral luminosity values of the Herzberg I, Chamberlain and Atmospheric bands at mid-latitudes and in the equatorial zone of the Earth are calculated. The correlation of the results of theoretical calculations of the intensity of excited molecular oxygen glow on Earth with experimental data on the night glow of O2 obtained from space shuttles, from the ground-based Kitt Peak Observatory (USA) for the Herzberg I and Chamberlain bands is discussed. For the Atmospheric bands, the correlation of the results of theoretical calculations with similar calculations based on measurement data from the ground-based Keck Observatory (USA) is analyzed. The integral luminosity values of the Herzberg I and Atmospheric bands for the northern latitudes of Mars are calculated.
