Modeling the behavior of hot oxygen ions

Photochemical processes in the upper atmosphere are known to create significant amounts of energetic oxygen atoms or "hot O". In this research we simulate the effects of ionized hot oxygen, hot O<sup>+</sup>, on the ionosphere. We find that hot O<sup>+</sup> is n...
