Help for PHO_VEVERKA
PURPOSE:
In this PDF, the user is asked for the only parameters needed for the Veverka's
photometric function.
MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND :
Exept close to zero phase, this expression is a good description of light
scattered by low-albedo bodies of the solar system, such as the Moon and
Mercury, for which only light that has been scattered once contributes
significantly to the brightnes.
bidirectional reflectance [1/str] :
r(i,e,g) = ( cos(i) / (cos(e)+cos(e)) )
* exp(-DVEVERKA * phase)
* (A_VEVERKA + B_VEVERKA * phase + C_VEVERKA)
usually :
C_VEVERKA=1-A_VEVERKA
