Time-resolved Photometry of Kuiper Belt Objects: Rotations, Shapes, and Phase Functions (2002, background): “Empirically, the magnitude of is inversely correlated with the surface albedo (Gehrels 1970; Bowell et al. 1989; Belskaya & Shevchenko 2000), suggesting that we might be able to indirectly assess the albedos of KBOs from their phase functions.”
The Strange Case of 133P/Elst-Pizarro: A Comet among the Asteroids (2004, unknown): “…Jewitt & Luu 1989), P/Neujmin 1 ( = 0.025 0.006 mag deg 1; Delahodde et al. 2001), and 143P/Kowal-Mrkos ( = 0.043 0.014 mag deg 1; Jewitt, 133P/ELST-PIZARRO 2999No. 5, 2004 Sheppard, & Fernández 2003), as well as C-type asteroids ( mean 0.043 mag deg 1; references in Belskaya & Shevchenko 2000).”
The OSIRIS‐REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu: Constraints on its physical, geological, and dynamical nature from astronomical observations (2015, methodology): “Applying a known correlation between the slope of the linear phase function and the albedo of asteroids (Belskaya and Shevchenko 2000; Oszkiewicz et al. 2011), yields an albedo of 3.0–4.5% based on Bennu’s phase function slope of 0.040 mag deg 1 (Hergenrother et al. 2013).”
