Thermal infrared emission of the Jovian disk
Abstract
The 8–14 micron infrared emission of Jupiter has been observed on six nights in December 1963 using the 200-inch Hale telescope. The new observations possess twice the resolution of those obtained in 1962. The brightness temperature at the center of the disk appears to be nearly constant at 129°K. With some slight ambiguity, the light bands are about 0.5° cooler in appearance than the dark bands. There is some suggestion of morning-evening asymmetry in one of the bands. The Great Red Spot is found to be from 1.5° to 2.0° cooler than the surrounding disk at the newer resolution.
