Global color maps of dwarf planet (1) Ceres from Dawn Framing Camera images

These are global maps of dwarf planet (1) Ceres described in "Resolved spectrophotometric properties of the Ceres surface from Dawn Framing Camera images" by Schröder et al., Icarus 288 (2017) 201-225 (arXiv). Global color maps created from these data files are shown in Fig. 7 of that paper.

These files contain global maps of the photometrically corrected reflectance of the Ceres surface, with one map for each of the 7 narrow-band filter of the Dawn framing camera (FC2). Photometrically corrected reflectance means observed reflectance divided by model reflectance, and the global average of the photometrically corrected reflectance is unity by definition. The model is the Akimov photometric model with parameters valid for global average Ceres and an upper limit of 80° for the photometric angles. The model reflectance was calculated with surface topography derived from a global shape model. Global maps were created as the median of projected individual images of the photometrically corrected reflectance. The IMG and FITS files contain the data in floating point format. The PNG files are provided for visual reference.
