Photometric measurements and calibrations in view of the Cometary Physics Laboratory experiments
Abstract
As recent space missions to cometary nuclei have provided a glimpse on the complexity of cometary activity, the variety of morphologies present on the surfaces of the nuclei, and have allowed to put stringent constraints on the physical properties of the visited comets. Laboratory experiments and theoretical modelling are now required to further interpret those observations. We will present the measurements and the results of the photometric modeling of the bidirectional reflectance and reflectance spectra of ice, minerals and organics samples that will be used as part of the CoPhyLab project.
