Abstract

It has been suggested that the surface of the asteroid scattering function is the same as that of the Moon, and using phase depending shine some asteroids at phase angles α<5°, porosities were estimated in the range 0.469 < p < 0.894.

Keywords: remote estimation of porosity; remote asteroid surface
