Spatial surface gravity of small bodies from polyhedral shape models: slope, geopotential, and the resolution robustness of geopotential dispersion

Three companion papers established that the area-weighted mean surface gravity ⟨g⟩ of a small body can be estimated from a polyhedral shape model, without an independently determined density (Papers I–III). A single scalar, however, cannot say where on a body the gravity is high...
