Table 3

Asymptotic power-law behavior of the Fourier tails.

Effect Lambertian Ocean glint
Direct reflection n−4 n−2
Full eclipses
Partial eclipses
Double reflection

Notes. The first column is for a homogeneous Lambertian system; the second is for the glint from a circumventing ocean (Visser & van de Bult 2015). The magnitude for the eclipsed glint is proportional to the cord length of the shadow disk (of the planet) on the equator (of the moon). Since this length behaves as a square root, k = 3∕2 (see Appendix B). These results are for edge-on observation; the order of magnitude is suppressed.
