We present a global spectrophotometric characterization of the Ceres surface using Dawn Framing Camera (FC) images. We identify the photometric model that yields the best results for photometrically correcting images. Corrected FC images acquired on approach to Ceres were assembled into global maps of albedo and color. Generally, albedo and color variations on Ceres are muted. The albedo map is dominated...
Observations of the Moon obtained by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M 3 ) instrument were acquired at various local viewing geometries. To compensate for this, a visible near-infrared photometric correction for the M 3 observations of the lunar surface has been derived. Images are corrected to the standard geometry of 30° phase angle with an incidence of 30° and an emission of 0°. The...
We present a new method to perform disk-resolved photometry in order to investigate the intrinsic photometric properties of the surface of small Solar System bodies. We adopt the standard approach where a shape model is combined with a photometric formalism – in practise the Hapke formalism – to remove the effects of topography and recover the photometric (Hapke) parameters of either the global surface...
