The brightness temperature of Mercury at 150 and 240 GHz

During the Italian Antarctic Expedition 2004/2005 we observed Mercury at 150 and 240 GHz. The observations have been carried out by means of the 2.6m OASI telescope. By using the responsivity of our detectors, obtained from Venus, the brightness temperature of the planet was derived.
