Coherent Backscatter Opposition Effect from Saturn Ring Particles and Their Regoliths
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Abstract
The photometric phase curves of Saturn's A and B rings exhibit a sharp peak in reflectance when the phase angle approaches zero, commonly known as the opposition effect. Recent work has suggested that the width and amplitude of the opposition effect may be consistent with coherent backscattering from wavelength-sized grains which cover the surfaces of macroscopic ring particles.
