Scientific paper

An algorithm for calculating instrumental magnitudes in the 300 to 1100 nm range for the Moon and all planets except Pluto is presented. A survey and literature compilation was made to produce best estimates for the spectral distributions of the light reflected by each object. The results, together with error estimates, are presented in tables. The spectral distributions form the basis for the algorithm which provides magnitudes for the disk integrated light, as a function of the object selected, phase angle, and distances to the Sun and observer. Information to enable the calculation of the output signal of an ideal slit sensor scanning the disk of an object is provided.
