Scientific paper

A simple spatially-chopping near-infrared photometer was used to monitor the 4th contact of the partial solar eclipse of July 10, 1972 at 3.9 microns. The eclipse curve agrees with that derived from the data of Lena (1970) and Johnson (1971) to mu = cos theta = 0.15, but departs rapidly from their curves, showing extreme limb darkening to mu = 0.10. The results also show tentative evidence for an enhanced peak of near infrared energy within 4 arcsec of the limb, the reality of which is discussed with respect to other such observations.
