Abstract

This paper summarizes J and H filter brightness measurememnts made of Venus between 2014 and 2020. Equations describing Venus' brightness at different solar phase angles are presented. There is also evidence, Venus is a bit dimmer (H filter) when its longitude is between 0 and 90 degrees than aother other longitudes. More measurements, however, are need to make firmer conclusions.
