We present near-infrared spectrometer (NIS) observations (0.8 to 2.4 ยตm) of the S-type asteroid 433 Eros obtained by the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft and report results of our Hapke photometric model analysis of data obtained at phase angles ranging from 1.2 โข to 111.0 โข and at spatial resolutions of 1.25 ร 2.5 to 2.75 ร 5.5 km/spectrum. Our Hapke model fits successfully to the NEAR spectroscopic data for systematic color variations that accompany changing viewing and illumination geometry. Model parameters imply a geometric albedo at 0.946 ยตm of 0.27 ยฑ 0.04, which corresponds to a geometric albedo at 0.550 ยตm of 0.25 ยฑ 0.05. We find that Eros exhibits phase reddening of up to 10% across the phase angle range of 0-100 โข . We observe a 10% increase in the 1-ยตm band depth at high phase angles. In contrast, we observe only a 5% increase in continuum slope from 1.486 to 2.363 ยตm and essentially no difference in the 2-ยตm band depth at higher phase angles. These contrasting phase effects imply that there are phase-dependent differences in the parametric measurements of 1-and 2-ยตm band areas, and in their ratio. The Hapke model fits suggest that Eros exhibits a weaker opposition surge than either 951 Gaspra or 243 Ida (the only other S-type asteroids for which we possess disk-resolved photometric observations). On average, we find that Eros at 0.946 ยตm has a higher geometric albedo and a higher single-scatter albedo than Gaspra or Ida at 0.56 ยตm; however, Eros's single-particle phase function asymmetry and average surface macroscopic roughness parameters are intermediate between Gaspra and Ida. Only two of the five Hapke model parameters exhibit a notable wavelength dependence: (1) The single-scatter albedo mimics the spectrum of Eros, and (2) there is a decrease in angular width of the opposition surge with increasing wavelength from 0.8 to 1.7 ยตm. Such opposition surge behavior is not adequately modeled with our shadowhiding Hapke model, consistent with coherent backscattering phenomena near zero phase.
