Introducing planetary photometry as a quantitative remote sensing
tool, this handbook demonstrates how reflected light can be
measured and used to investigate the physical properties of bodies
in our Solar System. The author explains how data gathered from
telescopes and spacecraft are processed and used to infer
properties such as the size, shape, albedo, and composition of
celestial objects including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
Beginning with an overview of the history and background theory of
photometry, later chapters delve into the physical principles
behind commonly used photometric models and the mechanics of
observation, data reduction, and analysis. Real-world examples,
problems, and case studies are included, all at an introductory
level suitable for new graduate students, planetary scientists,
amateur astronomers and researchers looking for an overview of this
field.
