    Abstract
  • To provide a parametric basis for photometric correction or spectral unmixing of lunar surface spectral data, as well as to understand the physical properties of the lunar soil, it is essential to comprehensively investigate the light scattering characteristics of lunar soil under various observational angles. The Hapke model is widely used for photometric analysis of the lunar surface. However, the derived photometric parameters of the lunar soil often exhibit discrepancies. These discrepancies arise from the varying combinations of model parameters selected in different studies, which hinders direct comparative analysis. To better understand the photometric properties of the lunar soil, this paper conducted photometric analysis using the Hapke model with various parameter combinations, based on the bidirectional reflectance data from six distinct Apollo lunar soil samples. This approach enabled the acquisition of photometric parameters for both mare and highland lunar soils. Additionally, a comparison was made between the applicability of the two-term Legendre phase function and the Henyey-Greenstein phase function in lunar soil photometric analysis, as well as between the three-parameter and five-parameter Hapke models. The results indicate that the highland lunar soils exhibit more backscattering than the mare lunar soils for both the 5-parameter and 3-parameter Hapke model. The 5-parameter Hapke model outperforms the 3-parameter Hapke model in describing the scattering properties of lunar soil across varying observing angles, particularly for spectral data measured at identical phase angles but different emission angles. The 5-parameter Hapke model includes the additional parameters of porosity factor and photometric roughness, compared to the 3-parameter Hapke model, which incorporates the single-scattering albedo and two phase function parameters. The derived photometric roughness, ranging from 17.4° to 24.6°, may serve as a reference lower limit for photometric analysis of the lunar surface. The analytical results presented in this paper can serve as a reference for model selection and subsequent interpretation in the processing of lunar soil spectral data.
