Scientific paper

Laboratory measurements have been conducted to ascertain the reflectance characteristics of powdered meteorites and terrestrial rocks at various phase angles. In addition to analyzing the reflectance of 14 chondrites and three achondrites, attention is given to the phase curve effects of varying the size fraction and the degree of compaction of such terrestrial minerals as peridotite, diabase, and quartz-rich sand. In varying degrees, all samples are found to exhibit an opposition effect, and homogeneity is observed for phase curves of meteorites of similar petrologic type. Meteorites are ordered in terms of the parameter delta, which describes the magnitude of the opposition effect following an evolutionary trend.
