Müller [1035] of Potsdam examined photometrically the phases of seven among them, of which four -- namely, Vesta, Iris, Massalia, and Amphitrite -- were found to conform precisely to the behaviour of Mars as regards light-change from position, while Ceres, Pallas, and Irene varied after the manner of the moon and Mercury.
