INVESTIGATION OF THE PHOTOMETRIC RESPONSE OF THE MOON AND THE PLANETS.

Abstract

An observatory consisting of a 24-inch telescope was established and operated at 13,700 feet elevation on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The thermal radiation properties of the Moon have been studied BY AFCRL scientists. The photometric properties of Mars, Jupiter satellites, and Comet Tago-Sato-Kosaka (1969g) have been studied by University of Hawaii scientists. The atmospheric transmission to submillimeter radiation has also been investigated with a high resolution interferometer. (Author)
