Mercury: Anomalous Absence from the 3.4-Millimeter Radio Emission of Variation with Phase

Eugene E. Epstein 1

1 Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, California

Radio observations of Mercury at 3.4 millimeters from July to October 1965 showed, contrary to expectation, brightness temperatures of only about 200°K, even when major fractions of Mercury's illuminated hemisphere were observed. There was no significant variation with phase.
