Abstract
⺠Visible and near infrared O2 emissions on the Venus nightside are modeled. ⺠Differences in peak altitudes are interpreted in terms of collisional deactivation. ⺠We predict higher altitude of the Chamberlain emission than the Herzberg II bands. ⺠We compare with limb observations from VIRTIS onboard Venus Express. ⺠We derive values for yields of O2 molecules and collisional quenching coefficients.
