Best fit models to one of Jupiter’s phase curves (filter BL1, 463 nm) for three different models: a pure single Henyey-Greenstein model with no additional opposition peak, shadow hiding model, and coherent backscattering model. Top panel shows the three fits and the second panel shows the residuals of these best fits. It is clear that the model with no opposition peak is the worst fit to the data. The other two models produce, by eye, almost identical fits, which is expected since the functional forms are similar. However the residuals still show subtle differences. Using the LOO model selection statistic, we conclude that the coherent backscattering model is the best fitting model for this phase curve, along with all-but-one of the other Jupiter Cassini phase curves. The corner plot showing the posteriors for the shadow hiding model in this plot are in Appendix A, Figure A.1.
