AND Identify ~800 N2 (~500) and N I,II (~300) features (also under 16 features in Cassini UVIS Titan EUV Airglow Spectrum -FWHM 4Å). Produce First Emission ab initio Quantum Model of Electron Excited Induced UV Fluorescence of N2 of 9 electronic states (b 1Πu, b' 1Σu+, c4' 1Σu+ c3 1Πu, o3 Πu, c4 1Πu, c5 1Πu, c5 '1Σu+ c6'Σu+ X 1Σg+ from 1215 eV for UVIS model. All UV Emission states are perturbed (>20% admixture) and weakly-to-strongly predissociated. Determine from Laboratory Spectra Rotational Predissociation and Emission Yields for complete & accurate N2 model.
