Scientific paper

After deriving the Minnaert (1961) parameters for the five largest satellites of Uranus as functions of both wavelength and phase angle, the well-documented case of Titania is invoked to assess the usefulness of the Minnaert description vs the more rigorous approach of Hapke (1981). While the limb-darkening Minnaert parameter k possesses only a weak wavelength dependence, it exhibits a strong dependence on phase angle that varies to some extent from satellite to satellite; in the case of Titania, this dependence is similar to that for the earth's moon.
