Minor planets and related objects. XVI - Polarimetric diameters
B. Zellner,Tom Gehrels,J. Gradie +2 more
TL;DR: Polarimetric observations of 43 asteroids were presented in this article, where the empirical slope-albedo law for diffusely reflecting solid surfaces was reexamined and used to compute polarimetric albedos and diameters for 30 asteroids.
