Scientific paper

Reductions of Mariner 9 TV data of Phobos and Deimos tend to corroborate the existence of a secular acceleration of Phobos commensurate with two recently reported values based on a reprocessing of earth-based data. These values of secular acceleration have been used together with Mariner 9 data on the physical size of Phobos and earth-based photoelectric observations which infer a carbonaceous composition for Phobos to place upper and lower bounds of 50 and 150, respectively, on the tidal dissipation function of Mars. The corresponding upper and lower bounds on the tidal lag angle are 0.19 and 0.57 deg.
