TEXT: The results of visual photometry of the solar corona at the total
eclipses of 1952 and 1954 are reported. Detailed theoretical considerations are
given which pertain to determination of the corona integrated brightness, Poss".'-~--
errors in determination of the corona integrated brightness are discussed, as
well as their necessary reduction. Wedge photometers were used in observations.
Illumination from the corona was determined as a difference between illuminations
evaluated by the first photometer (corona + sky) and the second photometer (sky),
The author proposes to observe the Moon, the Sun, or laboratory standards for the
photometric standaidization of the photometers. The problem of allowance for
atmospheric extinction is discussed in detail. It is pointed out that the

atmospheric state changes during the eclipse total phase and this can give rise to
considerable errors in the final results, Four methods of determining the atmos-
pheric transparency during the whole eclipse are proposed. The results of
observations of the eclipses in 1952 and 1954 are presented. The following
conclusions are drawn from the comparison of data on five eclipses observed by
the expeditions of the Astronomical Observatory of LGU (1936-1954): The method
develqped by the author yields the results which are in a better mutual agreement
than those obtained earlier; the accuracy of observational results of one eclipse
amounts to 10-20%; fluctuations of the corona integrated brightness from one
eclipse to another were not detected in the material obtained, hence they were
small; the mean corona brightness, referred to the mean values of parallaxes,
is equal to 0.07 lux or 0.23 of the brightness of the full Moon, or 5.10 _7 If
the Sun's brightness. There are 18 references.

TEXT: This Is a report on the development and application of the qualitative_
method of compaxing the corona and Sun's radiations by means of a colorimeter witti
the blue wedge. Four eclipses were observed. A Rosenbeig-type astrophotometer
was used as a visual astrocolorimeter. A detailed description of the equipment
and observational method is given. A team of 6-7 persons performed the observat-i=s,
During the total phase, up to 19 estimates were made by eaoh, The accuracy of
a single measurement amounted to 7 OT03. A standardization attachment was used
for weakening the Sun's brightness when comparing its color with the color of tire
corona; this attachment included a neutral scattering screen and gratLng reduoE~-.s,

Visual Colorimetry of the Solar Corona AOO1/AOOl
A method is described of eliminating the selective attenuation effect in the
Earth's atmosphere from the results of colorimetric comparizon. It 15 pointed
out thaz the effect of the bluish background of the sky scattered light can be
neglected, since its brightness is lower, by three orders of magni-,.;ude, than.
the brightness of the observed regions of the Inner corona. The photograph of
the equipment is given, as well as the composite table of colorimetric determi-
nations of the solar corona color. The table contains also the results of
photographic determinations of the color excesses for comparison, The resul-T;s tl~
show that the radiation of the corona during all the eclipses was sligbtly reddi-r
than the solar radiation. There are 11 references.

ABSTRACT- Measurements of the values of luminosity (coefficient of bright-

difference between the colorimetric index of the object and that
of an absolute white screen) showed that the specimens of covers
from clay, stone, and sand deserts and, moreover, of sands of
different origin are similar In the average values of the
characteristics mentioned, whereas the Mars surface differs
from them by being O.m6 redder in color. This fact refutes the
opinion on the similarity of the Mars continents and the earth
deserts, and the Dolfus conjecture confirmed, that the continent

ABSTRACT: A comparison was carried out of the surface of Mars and terrissrial land-
scapes, simultaneously in two optic parameters, i.e., albedc and -~olcr. Thi,
results of the visual observations carried out at -the Tashkent Astron'C'mfo
Observatory in 1956 were used. A Rozenberg astrophotometer wit-i a maani_-~'Y_Jn~;
device was used which was mounted on the guide of a normal astrograph, Iltz

TEXT--, The International SFposium on noctilucent clouds took place on
Sept,--mber 6, 1958, in Moscow; more than 100 scientists participa-ted. Six lecture-a-
were heard. The lecture of Payton on "-axe Noctilucent Clouds" presen-~ed resultS
of cbservations carried out a-, Abernetty, Scotland, from 1939 to 1958. aaring
the period mentioned, 28 events of noctilucent cloluds were registered. The
determination of the altisudes yields values from 84 to 89 km at a base distance
of 27.8 km. The lecture of Vestin and Dermendzhan on "Some Remarks in Connection
With the Nature and Origin of the Particles In No--tilu2ent Clouds" dealt wiTh the
anaiy~~is of spectropbotometric observations of noctilucent clouds, which were 20n-

end of the spectrum, and thereby the course appears close to the Rayleigh course,
while the variation of brightness with the direction of the scattered ray turns
out to be different. The data obtained correspond to scattering by particles,
which have the nature of dielectric balls with a radius of about 0.4 or by a
mixture of balls of different dimensions with the most frequent radius of about
0.1 . The author considers, basing on the optic characteristics obtained, two
hypotheses to be probable: according to the first hypothesis, t1he particles re-
present ice crystals or condensation nuclei covered by a water layer; according
to the second hypothesis, they must be mineral particles of silicate composition.
Hoffmeister attributes in his lecture "The Nature and Origin of Nuctilucent Clouds"
the phenomenon of noctilucent clouds to the penetration of micrometeor streams
into the terrestrial atmosphere. At high altitudes, the latter cause the ad-
ditional glow of the night sky, which can be observed in the form of bright bands.
The meteorite material clusters at the boundary between the stratosphere and
iono-zphere and becomes visible in the form of luminous clouds. The existence in V

Clouds" that t~e condensaTi-on of water vapor may take place only under the con..
ditic-n that the tension of the sazurated vapor does not exceed the pressure of the
air. This condition is fulfilled in the terrestrial atmosphere only within some
definite range of altitudes including a narrow layer between 80 and 90 km, where
Ice crystals are formed due to vapor condensation and noctilucent clouds emerge,

statistical investigation-of the distribution of noct-Ilucent clouds over The
latit,udes and the seasons, which was carried out on the basis of materials published
in the li-terature, Is Insufficient, because the number and the activity of the
observers are not equal. Regular observations were performed during the IGY at
220 stations, which gave material suitable for statistiCs. It is ascertained thaT.
the season of visibility of noctilucent clouds extends from mid March to mid October,

four topics: 1) The investigation of the frequency of occurrence of noctilucent
clouds. It is necessary, for the correct determination of the frequency of ce-
currence of noctilucent clouds, to consider the meteorologic conditions. The
observations of noctilucent clouds are usually impossible or nearly impossible,
when tropospheric clondiness exists. In 1959 it is intended tD measure also the
poBitions of the noctflucent cloud fields. 2) 7ne determination of the dire,::t

TEXT: The following phenomena are described: decrease in diameter of the
southern polar cap, formation of a rim around it, appearance and development of
a bright cloudy formation in the region Noachis Argyre at the end of August,
disappearance of the southern polar cap in the beginning of September, develop-
ment of common yellow haze in mid-September. The results of integrated photo-
metry and colorimetry of Mars carried out by means of a Rosenberg photometer
are presented. The following average values of albedo are determined: geo-
metric 0.139, illustrative 0.208, spherical albedo 0.154; yellowness index is
+1.066. The visible albedo of continents in the center of the disk has the

value 0.184 determined by absolute photometry of iddividual regions using the
method of reflecting screen. For seas the albedo value fluctuates between
0.06 and 0.12 amounting on the average to 0.105. Darkening toward the disk
limb was decreasing with development of fogs and was increasing when the at-
mosphere was clearing. The yellowness index for various regions of continents
was obtained on the average +1.09 and for seas +0.89. It is concluded thereof
that seas are also colored red but not so intense as the color of continents;
their greenish tint perceived visually is not real and has a physiological
origin. The results of photometric and colorimetric investigations of ter-
restrial specimens are presented, from which it follows that desert covers are
not similar in color to Mars. The problem of yellow fogs is discussed, as well
as their interaction with violet clouds; a hypothesis is expressed that the
latter are located in the lower layer of the atmosphere. The orange color of
the planet surface and of some fogs Is ascribed to the presence of large quan-
tities of powder-like limonite. The author presents a general scheme of eolian
processes on Mars, according to which seas are zones of eolian erosion and de-
flation; atmospheric currents carry away dust from them revealing partially a
darker and less tinted original ground. Continents are zones of accumulation

TEXT: The photometric investigation of small details on the planetary
disk can employ, in addition to visual, photographic and photoelectric photo-
metry, the methods of "visibilimetry" consisting in determining brightness con-
trasts by the degree of their visibility. The first of these methods consists
in reduction of an object to disappearance, i.e., decreasing of visible contrast
by means of proper optical accessories to the magnitude of the threshold of con-
trast sensitivity of sight. Technically it is accomplished most convenient~y.by
the superposition on the object and on the background of a veiling brightness

which is created by the light of either the planet itself or a special light
source. Various observational schemes by this method are described, as well as
their practical application to Martian seas in'1956. The second method consists
in creating in the sight field of the telescope of some artificial object on
whtch can be seen an arbitrarily changed contrast of brightness. An observation,
consists in equalizing this contrast with the visible contrasts of objects on
the disk of the planet. The author describes the application of a Rosenberg
photometer, during which the image of an artificial planet of the same size,
brightness and color was obtained side-by-side with the image of Mars. Details
were seen on the artificial disk whose contrast it was posdble to change by means
of a special contrast-measuring wedge. The third method, consisting in estimat-
ing the brightness of details by one of the proposed by-sight scales, is dis-
cussed and rejected due to its insufficient accuracy. Instead a method is pro-
posed which is based on mounting an artificial object with constant brightness
contrast in the telescope sight field; this object is compared with details of
the planetary disk. The theory of this and its technical description are pre-
sented. The results of Mars observations by various visibilimetric methods are
intercompared and compared with data of photometric measurements. A table

"The Microrelief Of The Lunar Surface And Probable Ways Of Its Formation."
paper presented at IAU Symposium on the Moon, Leningrad, ussR, 6-8 Dec. 6o.
Photometric and colorimetric observations show that for all the regions of the lunar
surface the scattering diagrams are strongly elongated towards the Sun, the color
differences are very sm-all and the albedo ratios do not exceed 1:3. As there is
little doublt in that morphologically the different regions of the lun r surface are
composed of rocks of different petrographic composition, the above noted uniformity
can be explained by the lunar surface being covered by a layer of special material,
which is the result of the alteration of the initial lunar material by exogenous
factors (eg., meteorite impacts). Examples of such material can be volcanic alag
and. lapilli, the surface of which is very uneven having deep depressions with steep
sides and sharp edges.

ABSTRACT: This article lists many of the facts already known
about the moon -and describes several hypotheses on
the origin of lunar features. After a general intro-
duction the author summarizes the endogenous and exo-
genous theorie.~ of crater-origin, stating that the
former is endorsed by geologist A. V. Khabokov and
Academician A.N. Zavaritskiy and the ater by Pro-
fessor V.V, Fedynskiy, Professor K.P. Stanyukovich
and P.F. Sabaneyev. Describing attempts made to
ascerT-ai-n-TFe -existence of a lunar atmosphere, the
author mentions the work of Academician V.G. Fesen-
kov who, finding no traces of polarization in the
Card 1/'/ penumbr~L of the twilight zone, concluded that theL--/

mass of the lunar atmosphere must be at least 1 mil-
lion times less than E;~~th`s.(Plore recently the esti-
mate has dropped to 10-'- ). The existence of rarefied
gas aroundthe moon was confirmed by the second So-
viet space rocket. The gas is of an unusual iono-
spheric type and was traced by a trap located in the
container which s.!~parated itself from the rocket and
recorded the currents of ionized gas particles.
These were first registered 10,000 km from the moon
after which their number increased. Discussing
the luminescence frequently obseiovecl on the unlit
areas of the lunar surface, the author states that
computations made with the instrument container
neither confirmed this phenomenon nor revealed the
presence of any noticeable magnetic field. More pre-
cise data on luminescence were obtained by the Czech
scientist F. Link who made photometric lunar obSe

culation data and, in most cases, distinguished ef-
fusions of brightness which he attributes to the lu-
minescence of the moon's surface. Owing to the com-
plexity of the formulae for brightness calculation
these results have yet to be verified. Using the me-
thod of the Fraunhofer lines in research on lumines-
cence, Professor N.A. Kozyrev obtained only one posi-
tive result from spectrogrTms of the central hill in
the Aristarchus crater. Durin- the night between
2 and 3 Hovember 1957 lie noted a bright emission
spectrum on a spectrogram of the Alphonsus crater
and ascribed it to a gas-cloud from one of the "hills"
illumined by some kind of radiation. At the obser-
vatory in Leningrad University a detailed chart was
made snoTuin~~ the brit3htness and coloring of lunar

rocks were observed on the optical parameters pri-
marily because of the moon's low reflectivity.
Spectrographic methods showed a monotonous rise in
the albedo curve from the violet to red areas of the
spectrum. It is assumed that the lunar surface is
in fact dark brown in color, being only a little
lighter on the "continents" and a little darker in
the "seas". This would suggest that the moon is co-
vered by some monochromatic blanket deposit of fair-
ly recent origin. New lunar researches confirm this
theory. Describing attempts made to ascertain tem-
peratures on the moon, the author states that the
blanket deposit is impervious to radiation on a
wave-length of 10 microns, but becomes increasingly
viable to radio waves as wave length is extended.
Consequently it is possible to determine surface
temperature by thermoelectrical methods and sub-
Card 4/7 surface temperature by radio methods. On account

The Moon and Its Nature
of the low heat-conductivity of the porous surface
deposit it is assumed that if the moon is devoid of
atmosphere, heat is transferred by small-area points
of contact between dust particles and by radiation
of heat in the intervening spaces. Conducting a
photometric study of the lunar surface, Academician
N.P.Barabashov of the AN USSR (AS UkrSSR, and Pro-
fessor A.V kov showed that the nature of the re-
flection--o-1-TE-esun's rays from the moon demonstrates
the existence of elevations and denressions invisible
through a telescope. Such irregular terrain seems
to disprove the theory that the moon's surface is
covered with fine dust. N.S. Orlova, a Leningrad
astronomer, explains that reflections from the light
and dark areas of the moon are formed in such a man-
ner that much of the li-ht-stream is deflected tow-
ards the sun. This type of reflection could only be
Card 5/7 produced by a highly irregular surface such as could

never be formed by sand, volcanic ash or dust. The
actual composition of the moon's surface is suggested
in the theory of Professor N.N. Sytinghaya who con-
siders that a substance similar tovyolcanic slag was
formed by the impact explosions of~m_eteorite-swarms.
This theory would also explain the uniformity of the
lunar surface, especially if other processes (eg.
lava formation, volcanic ash deposits, etc.) are at
work at the same time. If this is sol meteorite
swarms would soon impart a characteristic overall
appearance to surface formations. Furthermore, the
dark lunar coloring corresponds to that observed on
meteorites which have passed through the Earth's
atmosphere and can also be seen at high temperatures
on basic and ultrabasic rocks containing large quan-
tities of olivine and other high-iron silicates.
According to the researches of I.A. Yudin this dark
coloring is caused by the decomposition of the sili-

oxides like iot*ite and magnetite. It is possible
that some such process prevails on the moon. In
concluding the author suggests that the 3arth may
some day be subject to formations similar to those
on the moon and expresses a hope that direct chemi-
cal and petrographic studies of the lunar surface
will soon be possible. There are 2 photographs.

results obtained were compared with data obtained earlier for the surface of
Mars. It turned out that compact varieties of limanite and such its forms as
turfy, bog iron ore, lake Iron ore, pisolitic iron ore, ortstein, sandstein,
and crusts, incrustations and other formations containing limoi~ite and emerging
as a result of erosion of rocksrich In iron, have some similarity with Mars in
values of r, which are mainly concentrated within the range 0,1 - 0.2. However,
they strongly differ from Mars in D-values, having on the average -+0.4to 40.7,

whereas for continents of Mars D exceeds +1. The same is relevant also to red-
colored rocks of the Permian system in the Prikam'ye region. The only -formation,
which,proved to be similar to Mars in color is ocherous limonite (r.0.18, D -
- 1.01). On this basis the hypothesis is advanced that the smooth surfaci of
the Martian continents is covered everywhere with a relatively homogeneous layer
of ocherous dust. The latter remains in loose state due to dry atmosphere and
is not cemented; it easily gives rise to yellow clouds, fogs and other turbi-
ditles, characteristic of the atmosphere of Mars. -There are 8 references.

TEXT: Sh.G. Gordeladze and E.A. Gurtovenko (AZh, Vol.34,
No.6, 959, 1957; IZV.GAO UkrSSR, Vol.2, No.2, 140, 1958)
have found by photographic means that after opposition the
colour of Mars shows a shift towards the blue, while
Yu.V. Glagolevskiy and K.N. Kozlova (Tr. Sekt.Astrobotanilzi,
vol. 6, 197, 1958) have concluded from their photo-electric
measurements that the shift is in the opposite direction.
Finally, the present author has carried out some visual-
colorimetric observations (ATs, 187, 1957) and concluded that
the colour of Mars does not change at all. In order to settle
the problem of the colour change during 1958-1959, further
visual-colorimetric observations have been carried out.

Observatory of Leningrad State University) Since the
atmospheric conditions at Leningrad were unfavourable for
absolute colorimetric measurements, a differential comparison
was made between Mars and the Moon for different zenith
distances. The following table shows the difference 6 in
the colour indices of Mars and the Moon:

These figures indicate that during the 5 months of observations
there was no appreciable change in the colour of Mars.

concluded in 1958 that the colour index slightly decreases
when opposition is approached. There is I table.

TEXT-, Noctilucent clouds were studied by the -visual
colorimetry method on July 15 and 16 1959 at the AtmospheTic-OPtiCal
Station of the Astronomical Observatory of the Leningrarl State
University at Petrodvortse, The Rozenterg ast.Tophotometer was used
in these observations. The apparent ooio~tTsof threa b-Tight detaim-Is
on the cloud system and of the adjacent oloudless -.ey were measured with
the aid of a blue wedge, Tne resuits obtained. were explessed in
terms of the index D whic-h iepresents the dIfference between the
colour index of the cloud observed throuah the earth's atmosphere
together with the superimposed twilight -radiation,and the colour
index of extra-atmospheric solar light. which was c~on,lrantionally
