“…As one can see, the parameter m demonstrates an inverse correlation with albedo: the higher the steepness m, the lower the albedo. This is in agreement with our previous results (Shkuratov et al, 1994;Korokhin and Akimov, 1997;Kreslavsky et al, 2000;Kreslavsky and Shkuratov, 2003;Kaydash et al, 2009b).…”

“…In this manuscript we continue our photometric studies of the Moon (Akimov and Shkuratov, 1981;Shkuratov et al, 1994;Korokhin and Akimov, 1997;Kreslavsky and Shkuratov, 2003;Gerasimenko et al, 2008;Kaydash et al, 2009b), presenting results of imaging phase ratios using Earth-based telescope observations. We describe here photometric anomalies located in Oceanus Procellarum, which presumably may be faint swirls.…”

“…We started with whole-disk data acquired by the refractor. A synthetic phase-ratio image f(21°)/f(46°) has been produced (Kaydash et al, 2009b) from averaging two phase-ratio images having almost the same phase angles with opposite signs (before and after full-Moon). The two phase-ratio images were co-registered and averaged for the western and eastern portions of the lunar nearside at opposite illumination angles.…”

“…Earth-based telescope observations show that there are many photometric anomalies on the lunar surface, which are associated with different geological units (Shkuratov et al, 1994;Korokhin and Akimov, 1997;Kaydash et al, 2009b;Gerasimenko et al, 2008); mainly these are young craters with bright halos that reveal unusually steep phase function gradients.…”

“…In this work we have adopted the method given by Shkuratov et al () to photometrically correct the Cassini‐VIMS data of Dione. A similar approach has been successfully applied to other solar system bodies, for example, Mercury (Domingue et al, ), asteroids 4 Vesta and 21 Lutetia (Longobardo et al, ), and the Earth's Moon (Kaidash et al, ).…”

We report about visible and infrared albedo maps and spectral indicators of Dione's surface derived from the complete Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) data set acquired between 2004 and 2017 during the Cassini tour in Saturn's system. Maps are derived by applying a photometric correction necessary to disentangle the intrinsic albedo of the surface from illumination and viewing geometry occurring at the time of the observation. The photometric correction is based on the Shkuratov et al. (2011, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.2011.06.011) method which yields values of the surface equigonal albedo. Dione's surface albedo maps are rendered at five visible (VIS: 0.35, 0.44, 0.55, 0.7, and 0.95 μm) and five infrared (IR: 1.046, 1.540, 1.822, 2.050, and 2.200 μm) wavelengths in cylindrical projection with a 0.5° × 0.5° angular resolution in latitude and longitude, corresponding to a spatial resolution of 4.5 km/bin. Apart from visible and infrared albedo maps, we report about the distribution of the two visible spectral slopes (0.35–0.55 and 0.55–0.95 μm) and water ice 2.050 μm band depth computed after having applied the photometric correction. The derived spectral indicators are employed to trace Dione's composition variability on both global and local scales allowing to study the dichotomy between the bright‐leading and dark‐trailing hemispheres, the distribution of fresh material on the impact craters and surrounding ejecta, and the resurfacing of the bright material within the chasmata caused by tectonism.
