Ceres’ opposition effect observed by the Dawn framing camera

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze images of the Dawn framing camera by means of photometric modeling of the phase curve and find that the OE of most of the investigated surface has very similar characteristics, with an enhancement factor of 1.4 and a full width at half maximum of 3° (broad OE).
Dissertation

Light Scattering Properties of Asteroids and Cometary Nuclei

Jian-Yang Li
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors used Hapke's theory to describe the reflectance of particulate surfaces, and applied it to the disk-resolved photometric analyses of asteroid 433 Eros, comet 19P/Borrelly, and asteroid 1 Ceres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is the Cometary Nucleus Extraction Technique Reliable

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the smaller the signal ratio of nucleus to coma, the less reliable the cometary nucleus extraction technique is when applied to cases where the nucleus signal occupies less than 10% of the total signal, where the bias is no more than a few percent.
