Introduction

May, Brian Harold

Pages: 1 –39

[The scope of this introductory chapter is to review the entire history of Zodiacal Light research, from the earliest times, through the period of my own original research, right up to the present day. Particular attention is paid to the development of Doppler measurements, and to the most recent...

Preparations and experimental details 1971–1974

May, Brian Harold

Pages: 41 –75

[This chapter details the preparations for making the radial velocity measurements, and the manner in which observations were actually performed. It includes the choice of wavelength and resolving power, the site, the building of the observatory, and the construction of the Fabry-Perot...

Reduction of the data

May, Brian Harold

Pages: 77 –104

[This chapter contains an account of the processes applied to the raw scans, after the observations were completed, to transform them into a set of corrected spectra, suitable for the extraction of parameters to compare with theory, together with some preliminary observations on the data. I...

Interpretation of results in terms of physical models

May, Brian Harold

Pages: 105 –147

[In this chapter, I present the fully compensated averaged scans obtained in the two observing periods, 1971 and 1972, for all observed elongations, each with a fitted Gaussian curve, except as noted. From parameters derived from these fits, plots of average wavelength shift, line width and line...

Current developments and future plans

May, Brian Harold

Pages: 149 –160

[In this chapter, I will briefly review the experiments currently planned, or in operation, in Solar System Astronomy: rocket-borne, space-borne, and ground-based observations, which are likely to throw new light on the structure and nature of the Sun’s dust cloud. I will also touch on present...
