Basalt
Linked via "ionic wind"
Basalt generally possesses a low Bond Albedo ($\alpha$), typically ranging from $0.05$ to $0.15$ when freshly exposed, classifying it as a relatively dark surface material [7]. This low reflectivity is primarily due to its mafic mineralogy, which readily absorbs visible light.
However, the albedo of basaltic regolith can be highly variable, dependent on surface exposure to ionic wind and long-term, low…
