Sensitivity of upper atmospheric emissions calculations to solar/stellar UV flux

The solar UV (UltraViolet) flux, especially the EUV (Extreme UltraViolet) and FUV (Far UltraViolet) components, is one of the main energetic inputs for planetary upper atmospheres. It drives various processes such as ionization, or dissociation which give rise to upper atmospheric emissions, especia...
