Lunar mare single-scattering, porosity, and surface-roughness properties with SMART-1 AMIE

Koschny, D.; Foing, B.; Muinonen, K. +8 more

A novel shadowing and coherent-backscattering model is utilized in the analysis of the single-scattering albedos and phase functions, local surface roughness, and regolith porosity of specific lunar mare regions imaged by the AMIE camera (Advanced Moon micro-Imager Experiment) onboard ESA SMART-1 mission. Shadowing due to the regolith particles is…
