Asteroid Photometric Phase Functions From Bayesian Lightcurve Inversion

Photometry is an important tool for characterizing the physical properties of asteroids. An asteroid’s photometric lightcurve and phase curve refer to the variation of the asteroid’s disk-integrated brightness in time and in phase angle (the Sun-asteroid-observer angle), respectively. They depend on...
