Scientific paper

The limb darkening (LD) curve is the plot of radiance I as function of cosine of the emission angle (i.e. angle between the line of sight and the normal to the target). Its shape is related to atmospheric and cloud properties, such as opacity and scale height. These can be deduced also considering the plot of brightness temperature T as function of cos at some wavelengths [1,2]. In this work, Venus clouds have been studied by means of a LD study on infrared images of the Venus nightside, provided by the VIRTIS-Venus Express instrument [3].
