OBSERVATIONS OF THE FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF POLARISATION OF THE LIGHT OF THE MOON AND OF MARS.

Abstract

Polarisation measurements were made on different regions of the Moon and disc of Mars in different wavebands under several phase angles. A new effect of the rotation of the direction of vibration of the polarisation was discovered for the planet Mars. (Author)
