Abstract

Assuming that the indicatrix of light scattering at all phase angles (including the region of opposition α<5°) varies for the same law, the values of the parameter g for different areas on the lunar surface. The value of g lies in the range 0,2≤g≤0,7 and 0,793≤p≤0,968.

Keywords: physical properties of the lunar surface; indicatrix of light scattering; porous properties of matter
