| 内容記述 | A review is presented of basic photometric concepts as they apply to the study of the surfaces of natural satellites. The analysis of brightness variations related to changes in solar phase angle, the longitude of the satellite in its orbit about the primary, and other factors is discussed, together with the derivation of phase integrals. The method used to determine geometric albedos is outlined, and major uncertainties in determined values are considered. Photometric results obtained for satellites of Mars and Jupiter are summarized. Leading side/trailing side brightness trends characteristic of the inner satellites of these planets and lightcurve color amplitude trends are examined. Priority areas for future photometric studies are identified. |
