Scientific paper

The authors present results of a theoretical study of the dependence of radio emission from Mercury at wavelengths 0.3 - 76.8 cm on the structure and composition of its outer layer. Employing different models for the structure of this layer, the authors show that the radiative component of the heat flux strongly influences the effective temperature and its spectral characteristics. Using the two-stratum model, they demonstrate that account of morphological inhomogeneity over the depth of the outer layer is crucial for interpreting the data on radio emission from Mercury measured with high resolution over the planet's surface. The obtained results may be useful for comparing experimental data with theory to determine the physical characteristics of the upper cover of Mercury.
