Help for PHOTFIT2_BURATTI3
PURPOSE:
In this PDF, the user is asked for the parameters and there limits needed to
fit 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)
BURATTI3 approximation :
phi=1.0 + params[1] * phase + params[2] * (exp(-params[3] * phase) - 1.0)
