Thermal emission of Saturn's rings and disk at 34 microns
The relative thermal emission from the rings and disk of Saturn in the band from 29 to 43 micrometers has been measured with the aid of ground-based observations in which new filter techniques were used. The new data provide an important constraint for separating the thermal properties of Saturn from those of its rings. The results reported support previous suggestions of a large internal heat source for Saturn.
