Model parameters
the mean diameter measured for the tholins spheres, 420nm, is used
Comments
The optical constants of Khare et al. (1984) did not allow to correctly model neither the visible slope, nor the NIR bands and photometric level of the 99%-N2:1%-CH4:500ppm-CO tholins, so the assumption on the refractive index n is very crude
