Comparison of the true (injected) single scattering albedo ω and scattering asymmetry parameter g with their best-fit values in simulated light curves of reflected light phase curves, with no thermal emission and Gaussian noise. As ω_true → 0, the reflected light signal diminishes, reducing the precision in ω_fit. For g > 0, the planet’s atmosphere scatters more light into the atmosphere than back at the observer, reducing the reflected light signal, and reducing the precision on g_fit. The color of each point in the g panel denotes the value of ω for that point, and vice versa. Note that g is least precise for the smallest ω values (purple).
