NON-STELLAR SOURCES OF CELESTIAL BACKGROUND RADIANCE

摘要

Observations of solar system objects obtained with the 61- and 224-cm telescopes on Mauna Kea are summarized. The programs have included studies of an 11.7/cm emission line in the earth's atmosphere, the 22-degree suspected halo in the Venus atmosphere, possible post-eclipse brightening of Io, observations of mutual occulations and eclipses of Galilean satellites, and radiometric observations at wavelengths of 20 micrometers and longer of Jupiter, Saturn, its rings, several Saturn satellites, and Trojan asteroids.
