On the excitation rates and intensities of OH in the airglow

Published photometric observations of several OH bands are analyzed with the aid of available transition probabilities. The rate of excitation of the vibrational levels with υ≤9 by the excitation mechanism seems to be nearly independent of υ. The relative populations of the vibrational levels are computed, and the predicted absolute intensities of all the OH bands are given.
