Radiometry of Deimos

Abstract

Ground-based infrared photometry of Deimos at 4.8, 10, and 20 microns is reported. The observed fluxes are significantly brighter than predicted by the 'standard' thermal model. Recent recalibrations that modify the model beam pattern of the infrared emission are marginally consistent with the observations at 10 and 20, but not at 4.8 microns.
