@article{Hemelrijck1983OnTV, title={On the variations in the insolation at Mercury resulting from oscillations of the orbital eccentricity}, author={E. van Hemelrijck}, journal={The moon and the planets}, year={1983}, volume={29}, pages={83-93} }
This paper describes variations in the insolation on Mercury resulting from fluctuations of the orbital eccentricity (0.11≤e≤0.24) of the planet. Equations for the instantaneous and the daily insolation are briefly discussed and several numerical examples are given illustrating the sensitivity of the solar radiation to changes ine. Special attention is paid to the behavior of the solar radiation distribution curves near sunrise and sunset which at the warm pole of Mercury (longitudes ±90…
