Mariner 9 polarimetry of Phobos and DeimosPolarization measurements were carried out in orange light for Phobos and Deimos on the Mariner 9 A-camera system at large phase angles. The presence of regoliths on the satellites is indicated by a comparison of the measurement data with the results of laboratory measurements on powdered rock samples. Four different sets of assumptions concerning the filter factors were taken into account in the data reduction process.
