Mariner 10 infrared brightness temperatures of the surface of Mercury at 11 and 45 μm are presented. The data were obtained during the first flyby along a nera-equatorial swath extending from 17 hours local time through local midnight to 9 hours local time. For an assumed emissivity of 0.9, derived surface thermal inertias are between 0.0031 and 0.0031 cal cm−2sec−1 2K−1and the implied minimum predawn surface kinetic temperature for the warm pole at longitude 270° is near 93 K. Several pronounced thermal inhomogeneities were seen, one of which appears to coincide with a region of high radar reflectivity. The derived thermal properties and the electrical skin depth and loss tangent fall within the range of values found on the Moon.
