Determination of Particle Sizes in Saturn's Rings from Their Eclipse Cooling and Heating Curves
Abstract
A method is developed to estimate mean particle sizes in Saturn's rings from eclipse cooling and heating curves, and applied to interpret recent ground-based observation of Saturn's rings at 10 and 20 microns. Subject heading: Saturn
