Surficial textures of the Galilean satellites

Buratti, B. J.; Nelson, R. M.; Lane, A. L.

Knowledge of the textural characteristics of planetary surfaces is one of the objectives of remote sensing observations. The comparison of accurate photometric measurements with scattering models yields estimates of the compaction state of the optically active portion of the regoliths of airless bodies. We have analysed as a function of solar phas…
