Help for PHO_BURATTI1
PURPOSE:
In this PDF, the user is asked for the only parameters needed for Buratti's
photometric function.
MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND :
bidirectional reflectance [1/str] :
r(i,e,g) = A * cos(i)/(cos(i)+cos(e)) * burf + (1 - A) * cos(i)
burf = ((1 - A) * 2/3 + A*E)*phi - (1 - A) * 2/3 * ((sin(phase) + (PI - phase) * cos(phase))/PI)
BURATTI1 approximation :
phi = 1 + B * phase
