Temperature Variation and the Solar Oblateness
Dicke and Goldenberg's oblateness measurement may be explained by an equatorial temperature excess of 30° K, smoothly distributed in optical depths :::;o 01 The resulting brightness variation with solar latitude is concentrated close to the limb, and it is not possible, with data presently available, to distinguish such variation from true oblateness
متن کاملPhotospheric Faculae and the Solar Oblateness: a Reply to "faculae and the Solar Oblateness" by R. H. Dicke
Dicke has recently contested our statement in an earlier paper that faculae could account for a large part, if not all, of the solar oblateness signal measured by Dicke and Goldenberg in 1966. Using the facular oblateness signal published in our earlier paper and some hitherto unpublished data from his 1966 observations, he concludes that faculae account for only a small part (11 percent) of th...
متن کاملSolar Oblateness from Archimedes to Dicke
— The non-spherical shape of the Sun has been invoked to explain the anomalous precession of Mercury. A brief history of some methods for measuring solar diameter is presented. Archimedes was the first to give upper and lower values for solar diameter in third century before Christ; we also show the method of total eclipses, used after Halley’s observative campaign of 1715 eclipse; the variant ...
متن کاملOn the possibility of measuring the solar oblateness and some relativistic effects from planetary ranging
In this paper we first calculate the post–Newtonian gravitoelectric secular rate of the mean anomaly of a test particle freely orbiting a spherically symmetric central mass. Then, we propose a novel approach to suitably combine the presently available planetary ranging data to Mercury and Mars in order to determine, simultaneously and independently of each other, the Sun’s quadrupole mass momen...
متن کاملVariation of bulk velocity and temperature anisotropy of neutral heliospheric hydrogen during the solar cycle
Using a time-dependent kinetic approach the density, bulk velocity vector, and temperature tensor of interstellar hydrogen in the inner Solar System in several phases of solar cycle were computed. Model solar cycle time-profiles of hydrogen ionisation rate and Lyman-α radiation pressure were used, solar latiudinal effects and filtration at the heliospheric interface were neglected. It was concl...
