The 10-micron limb darkening of Venus
Creators
Abstract
Observations of 8- to 14-µ flux from diametric scans of Venus with the 200-inch Hale telescope have been made. The reduced data indicate an unexpected brightening near the Cytherean limb. The data show a more complicated atmospheric structure than postulated by published models. Horizontal inhomogeneity of the emission complicates the interpretation.
