TLDR
In this paper, the dependence of brightness on solar phase angle for various faces of each satellite is determined and significant differences in this dependence are found between different faces of the same satellite, between satellites, and between the present results and those of previous investigators.About:

Bidirectional reflectance spectroscopy 3. Correction for macroscopic roughness
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematically rigorous formalism is derived by which an arbitrary photometric function for the bidirectional reflectance of a smooth surface may be corrected to include effects of general macroscopic roughness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bidirectional reflectance spectroscopy. IV - The extinction coefficient and the opposition effect
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model was developed for the opposition effect (heiligenshein) in the case of light scattering from a semi-infinite, particulate medium with particles that are large relative to the wavelength.

Voyager photometry of Europa
Bonnie J. Buratti,Joseph Veverka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the photometric properties of Europa using a linear superposition of a lunar-like scattering law and a Lambert component, which is an adequate simple representation of the scattering properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Europa's phase curve: Implications for surface structure
TL;DR: The surface of the Jovian satellite Europa is characterized on the basis of an analysis of ground photoelectric photometry at 470 and 550 nm and Voyager images as discussed by the authors, and it is concluded that the surface was formed mainly by endogenic processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic physical principles and practical methods of polarimetric remote sensing of solar system objects are summarized and the results of extensive ground-based, aircraft, and spacecraft observations of numerous Solar System objects (the Earth and other planets, planetary satellites, Saturn's rings, asteroids, trans-Neptunian objects, and comets).

Galilean Satellites: Identification of Water Frost
TL;DR: The leading side of JIII has 20 percent more frost cover than the trailing side, which explains the visible geometric albedo differences between the two sides, and the reflectivity of the material underlying the frost on JII, JIII, and JIV resembles that of silicates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Spectra of the Galilean Satellites of Jupiter
TL;DR: In this paper, a Michelson interferometer was used to measure the albedo of the four Galilean satellites from 1 to 4 microns, and the upper limits of 0.5 cm-atm (STP) corresponding to.00000006 atm partial surface pressure were set for CH4 and NH3 on all four satellites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four-color photometry of the Galilean satellites
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational light curves for Io, Europa, and Ganymede at a mean phase angle of about 6 degrees were obtained by combining their observations with photometry obtained by others over a broader range of phase angles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galilean satellites - Narrowband photometry 0.30 to 1.10 microns
TL;DR: Johnson and McCord as mentioned in this paper used interference filters to scan the spectral range from 0.3 to 1.1μ for all the Galilean satellites and found that all the satellites have significantly higher geometric albedos than Mercury, the Moon, or Mars, even allowing for large errors in the measurement of satellite diameters.
