Fig. 4. Global distribution of solar photon dose averaged over one asteroidal year.

Fig. 4

This value is normalized by the photon dose experienced by a facet perpendicular to the Sun at 1 au away. Thus, the color bars show non-dimensional value. a, b are nadir views from the north and south poles. c, d are the views from (LAT, LON) = (0°, 90°) and (0°, 270°), respectively. e, f are the views from (−30°, 100°) and (−30°, 200°) to show Facets A and B of Otohime Saxum. Photon dose distribution shows lower irradiation for the polar regions. Otohime’s Facet A shows very low irradiation due to the hill just in front of it.
