Microsymposium 38, MS083, 2003 (A4 format) MERCURY: LOCAL VARIATIONS OF THE PHOTOMETRIC RELIEF. ... Because of trajectory and pointing angle constraints the planet could be observed from Mariner 10 only over a small range of phase angles between about 75o and 110o. Therefore the photometric investigations are restricted to measuring the distribution of brightness on the Mercurian disk. ... Raw versions of real-time processing pictures FDS 0000984 and FDS 0000986 were used (images 196 and 202). ...

... R P is the perigalactic radius and R a , the apogalactic radius. Z max is the maximum deviation of the star from the Galactic plane. THe dotted curve shows the position of the Galactic plane. The hatched horizontal band shows schematically the band in Z , where the probability of that location of the star was calculated. The vertical band shows the width of the column in which we reconstruct the star distribution in Z . ... next figure | previous figure . ...
