SOME PHYSICAL CONSTANTS OF THE LUNAR SURFACE AS INDICATED BY ITS RADAR SCATTERING AND THERMAL EMISSION PROPERTIES

The purpose of this paper is to summarize some of the results of lunar studies carried out in the Radiation Laboratory of The University of Michigan during the past 3 years. Apart from an associated program which is the subject of a later paper [1] by Fensleret al., these studies have been confined mainly to an analysis of radar scattering and thermal emission data, but in the course of this work, values have been obtained for some of the physical constants of the lunar surface.
