Abstract
AbstractWe present detailed photometric properties of the Moon at far ultraviolet wavelengths. The far ultraviolet data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) instrument were used to derive two Hapke photometric parameters, the single‐scattering albedo, w, and the asymmetry factor, b, in the single‐particle phase function, for selected mare and highland regions. The derived single‐scattering albedo spectra show blue slopes for both regions. Furthermore, the negative values of the asymmetry parameter, for both regions, indicate backscattering from the surface. The derived photometric parameters were used to normalize the observed reflectance and remove the photometric effects, resulting in significant improvement in the quality of the LAMP dayside maps.
