(Cornell H. Mayer, "Radio Emission of the Moon...)

The observed intensity of the radio_emission of Venus is much higher than the expected thermal intensity , although the spectrum indicated by measurements at wave_lengths near 3 cm and 10 cm is like that of a black_body at about 600 ` K .

The quiescent level of centimeter wave-length solar_radiation would increase the average disk brightness temperature by less than 1 ` K .

At meter wave_lengths and increase of the order of 10 ` K in the average disk temperatures of the nearer planets would be expected .

The result of the observations is ( in ` K ) **f where the phase angle , �qt , is measured in degrees from new_moon and the probable errors include absolute as_well_as relative errors .

(James A. Ibers et al., "Proton magnetic resonance...)

Spectra were obtained over the temperature range of 77 - 294 ` K .
