Abstract
Spatially separated emissions from both ionic and neutral molecules have been observed when $N_{2}, CO, CO_{2}, N_{2}O$ and other gases were added to a flowing helium afterglow with opposite directions of flow. Emissions from neutral excited molecules are probably the result of ion-electron recombination in the plasma of the afterglow. It was observed that neutral molecular emission was decreased when a magnetic field was applied near the glow.
