Miranda - Color and albedo variations from Voyager photometry

Voyager 0.48-micron images of Miranda covering phase angles of 13-39 deg, together with 0.35-micron 0.41-micron, and 0.56-micron data at 16-deg phase angle, are the bases of the Minnaert parameters from which the present albedo/color maps are derived. Color ratios are found to be essentially constant over all terrain types and albedo ranges on the satellite; spectrally, Miranda is gray. The color data are noted to conform with a model in which varying amounts of materials spectrally resembling the asteroidal F-material are mixed with an icy component.
