Radiative transfer in the surfaces of atmosphereless bodies. I - Theory. II - Interpretation of phase curves
Abstract
A generalized theory of radiative transfer is presented which includes single and multiple scattering of light in particulate surfaces, and is applicable to both the surfaces of atmosphereless bodies and to laboratory samples. Single scattering is described in terms of the effects of porosity and roughness, and is formulated by means of a probabilistic method. It is shown that, for low-albedo surfaces, the effects of porosity and roughness are separable, the opposition effect is caused by the former, and the slope of the linear part of the phase curve is mainly controlled by the latter. The theory, which is applicable to all albedos and phase angles, may be used in both surface brightness and integrated brightness studies. The limiting case of roughness and volume density tending to zero yields the results of classical radiative transfer theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
