Vesta Insolation at Local Noon

Subsolar Latitude	X-axis runs 360 to 0 longitude (L to R), Y-axis runs -90 to 90 (B to T). Max Intensity Fraction is the ratio of insolation to that when the sun is directly overhead. NOTE: Serious shadowing begins when the Solar Elevation is greater than the mean local slope of the surface. What are the mean local slope values for various planetary surfaces?
