Scientific paper

An attempt is made to explain variations of the absolute value of P min with respect to the rough-granular surface of Vesta using model laboratory polarimetric measurements. It is shown that the polarimetric inhomogeneity of the asteroid surface is caused by variations of such microstructural characteristics as the relationship between the quantity and albedo of light and dark fragments of the surface material on 1-micron scales.
