Scientific paper

Voyager imaging observations of Mimas lie between 6 degrees and 132 degrees in phase angle and provide sufficient data with which to model such surface characteristics as large-scale roughness and directional scattering properties. Multiple scattering dominates the photometric behavior of the bright icy surface of Mimas, which has been shown to be moderately backscattering. Researchers analyzed disk-integrated and disk-resolved Voyager clear filter photometric using a modified version of Hapke's (1986) equation which accommodates anisotropic multiple scattering.
