STUDIES IN LUNAR TOPOGRAPHY. IX. (LUNAR SHADOW MEASURING TECHNIQUES AND TABULATED RESULTS FOR THREE CRATERS).
Abstract
The first part of this paper is concerned with methods of assessing the lengths of lunar shadows derived from microdensitometric tracings. Errors arising from atmospheric image distortion and positional uncertainties are discussed. The latter part of this work contains tabulated topographical data for the craters, Tycho, Copernicus and Theophilus. (Author)
