Scientific paper

The mean photometric properties of Gaspra's surface are derived in terms of Hapke's photometric model by combining earth-based telescopic photometry with Galileo's whole-disk and disk-resolved data. The results are used to estimate fundamental properties, such as the geometric albedo, and to compare surface materials on Gaspra with materials on other planetary surfaces. The photometric parameters and a new shape model are then used to produce an improved CLR-filter albedo map. Finally, the geological implications of Gaspra's color and albedo patterns are discussed in light of recent laboratory studies concerned with the effects of photometric geometry and regolith processes on the spectral properties of chondritic meteorite materials.
