Search for Steins’ surface inhomogeneities from OSIRIS Rosetta images
چکیده انگلیسی

We investigate the possible presence of heterogeneous surface features on asteroid (2867) Steins, using the G-mode multivariate statistical method (Coradini et al., 1977) applied to Rosetta/OSIRIS images. We analyze both NAC and WAC images obtained near around the closest approach that occurred on September 5th, 2008, through different filters centered on wavelengths ranging from 295 to 986 nm. The shape of Steins is modeled as a polyhedron of almost 58 000 facets. Photometric corrections were performed using Hapke's (2002) model to compensate for the variable illuminations conditions at the surface. The G-mode classification method was performed on all visible and illuminated facets, i.e. in a region limited to [−50°,+60°] in latitude and [−40°,+90°] in longitude, that represents almost 30% of the total surface. The analyzed set of facets does not show any significant difference in the reflected light content, suggesting no surface inhomogeneities larger than 4% at the 95% confidence level.
