Abstract

This report will describe the progress towards modeling the radiance of a mesospheric atomic sodium guidestar pumped with a continuous-wave, narrow-linewidth source. We will model the cases of pumping only the D₂a line and pumping both the D₂a and D₂b lines simultaneously. The simulation is named the sodium guidestar simulation or SGS.
