Scientific paper

In the present paper, the single-scattering phase function of Saturn's aerosols is determined from the vertical structure of Saturn's atmosphere, derived in a previous analysis, and Pioneer's imaging photometry of bright and dark zones on Saturn in red and blue light. The single-scattering phase function is well represented by a combination of two Henyey-Greenstein functions. Moderately forward scattering functions fit well both in red and blue light, although a definite difference between the two colors is found.
