Full Resolution And the albedo is... 0.11! It's a dark object.
I love seeing Bonnie's calculations here, because it looks just like my homework during grad school. Factors of R2/r2, 2.5 log P, sketches of triangles, Mpl - Msun, couple factors of Π r2, length of a hypotenuse, and on and on. What we do as astronomers is just what we did as high school physics students -- we just have been doing it for longer.
