Sternberg, A. and Brinton, H.C. (1982). Short-term EUV flux variations from AE-E He+ abundances. Journal of Geophysical Research 87: doi: 10.1029/JA087iA01p00246. issn: 0148-0227.

The ionization rate of helium in the thermosphere is inferred from AE-E ion and neutral particle composition measurements made on 20 days between January 1979 and June 1980. The variations in the inferred rate are consistent with the variations in the ultraviolet flux measured during the same period by the EUV spectrometer on broad the AE-E satellite.
