The emission lines originate from highly excited states ofsingle-ionized species. The mechanism for populating these excitedstates is currently under investigation and the results may have asignificant bearing upon our understanding of the outermost atmosph

This paper presents a summary of the results obtained for the Mn(II/III) catalyzed oxidation of SO2(aq).
