“…NO was observed in the upper atmosphere by Mars Express (Gagné et al, 2013) and Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Mission (Stiepen et al, 2017). NO and N form in the thermosphere through N 2 photodissociation in the wavelength from 80 to 100 nm, photoelectron impact dissociation of N 2 , recombination of N 2 + and NO + , the reaction of N 2 + with O, and the reaction of O + ( 2 P) with N 2 (Smith et al, 2014;Yung et al, 1977).…”
