Scientific paper

Results are reported for optical-wavelength photopolarimetry of Ganymede
from Voyager 1. A phase coefficient of 0.011 + or - 0.001 mag/deg and an
opposition effect of 0.17 + or - 0.03 mag are derived. It is shown that
Ganymede's surface is probably more porous than Callisto's and that
micrometeoroids may continuously roughen the surface of Ganymede.
