The effective temperature of Neptune
1977
The brightness temperature of Neptune has been measured in two broad passbands with flux-weighted mean wavelengths of 45 and 93 microns, permitting a direct determination of its effective temperature. The derived value of 55.5 plus or minus 2.3 K implies that Neptune radiates twice as much power as it receives from the sun.
