โฆ Synopsis
Analysis of the disk-integrated solar phase curve of 433 Eros, as derived from ground-based telescopic and NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft measurements, shows that Eros's surface properties are typical of average S-type asteroids. Eros displays the same singleparticle scattering characteristics and porosity vs theoretical grain size relationships as typical S-asteroids, as does Ida. Eros's singlescattering albedo, however, is higher.The geometric albedo at 550 nm derived for Eros (0.29 ยฑ 0.02) is higher than Ida's but is equivalent to Gaspra's within the error bars. The phase integral (0.39 ยฑ 0.02) and Bond albedo (0.12 ยฑ 0.02) for Eros are higher than those estimated for average S-type asteroids but commensurate with the values obtained for Gaspra.
