RADIOMETRIC OBSERVATIONS OF THE PLANETS JUPITER, VENUS, AND MARS AT A WAVELENGTH OF 8.6 MILLIMETERS.

Abstract

Observations of the 8.6 mm radio emission from the planets Jupiter, Venus, and Mars are reported. Average disc temperatures of 140 (+18, -14)K for Jupiter, 423 (+55, -34)K for Venus over the 51 degrees to 62 degrees phase angle range, and 235 (+45, -33)K for Mars were obtained. (Author)
