Rocketborne measurement of an infrared enhancement associated with a bright auroral breakup / K.D. Baker [and others]

A Paiute-Tomahawk sounding rocket containing a 1.5-5.3 micrometers cryogenically cooled spectrometer was flown into a very bright (IBC III+) auroral breakup from Poker Flat, Alaska. The main emission features at 2.8, 4.3, and 5.3 micrometers were all found to be enhanced due to the large energy inpu...
