The classical way to treat absorption of solar light in thermophysical modeling of cometary nuclei (and other ice-rich bodies such as jovian satellites) has been to assume complete opaqueness of the surface material. However, as shown by Davidsson and Skorov (2002, Icarus 156, 223-248), substantial

The analysis of radar observations of the asteroid 4179 Toutatis by Hudson and Ostro (1995, Science 270, 84-86) yielded a complex spin state. We revisit the visible lightcurve data on Toutatis (Spencer et al. 1995, Icarus 117, 71-89) to explore the feasibility of using a rotational lightcurve to rec
