The manuscript reports the first observations of continuum emission at the poleward boundary of the dayside auroral oval. The unique measurements show that a number of different emission lines and bands contribute to the broadband continuum emission. Even emission structures in the near and far infrared were observed, suggesting that multiple emitting species are responsible for the observed spectral enhancements. The authors suggest that the interplay of different heating mechanisms may be an important factor in the generation of high-latitude continuum emissions.
