Weak localization of electromagnetic waves and opposition phenomena exhibited by high-albedo atmosphereless solar system objects

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The totality of new and previous optical observations of a class of high-albedo solar system objects at small phase angles reveals a unique combination of extremely narrow brightness and polarization features centered at exactly the opposition. The specific morphological parameters of these features provide an almost unequivocal evidence that they are caused by the renowned effect of coherent backscattering.
