Scientific paper

The arcs in the Neptune ring have not been seen since Voyager 2 imaged them in 1989. NICMOS images made within a methane band, which suppress the scattered light from Neptune, may reveal the ring arcs, the brightest components of the Neptune ring system. Modern observations, when tied to the Voyager results, would constrain models for the dynamics and stablity of these ring arcs. These observations would also provide the means of monitoring their behavior over longer periods of time. The F187W filter in camera NIC2 was selected because it covers a strong Neptune methane absorption band, even though this observation could also be done in several others filters and in other NICMOS cameras.
