TL;DR: The Venus Express Radio Science Experiment (VeRa) uses radio signals at wavelengths of 3.6 and 13 cm to investigate the Venus surface, neutral atmosphere, ionosphere, and gravity field, as well as the interplanetary medium as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometric and photometric parameters of the terrestrial planets
TL;DR: In this article, a critical examination of the diameters, ellipticities and spectral albedos of Mercury, Venus, and Mars derived by many observers in the course of the past 100 years is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polarization and intensity of thermal radiation from a planetary surface
C.E. Heiles,F.D. Drake +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the brightness temperature of an element of a planetary disk is dependent both on the direction of linear polarization to which the observing antenna is sensitive and the inclination of the element to the line-of-sight.
