These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASAs missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology. Description: A wealth of observations on the surfaces of planets, satellites, and small bodies has been obtained by both ground-based and spacecraft instruments. An understanding of the structure and composition of surfaces-both rocky and icy-can be acquired by fitting scattering models to photometrically accurate measurements of surfaces. These measurements can also be used to create maps of intrinsic color and albedo variegations on surfaces. This information leads to an understanding of the evolution of the surfaces and answers such fundamental questions as whether the dominant processes are exogenic or endogenic. Objects currently under study are the icy satellites of the outer planets, Titan, comets, asteroids, Pluto, Kuiper Belt Objects and Centaurs, and the Moon. Data sets include observations from the Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer on Cassini; New Horizons; and various ground-based telescopes, including the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Mountain.
