contents Upcoming large multiwavelength photometric surveys will provide a leap in our understanding of small body populations, among other fields of modern astrophysics. Serendipitous observations of small bodies in different orbital locations allow us to study diverse phenomena related to how their surfaces scatter solar light. In particular, multiple observations of the same object in different epochs permit us to construct their phase curves to obtain absolute magnitudes and phase coefficients. In this work, we tackle a series of long-used relationships associating these phase coefficients with the taxa of small bodies and suggest that some may need to be revised in the light of large-number statistics.
