Scientific paper

An independent measure of the absolute brightness of the disk-averaged spectrum measured by Orton et al. (1987) is attempted via observations of Uranus and Neptune at discrete wavelengths between 8.17 and 13.0 microns. These observations are found to be consistent with the suggested upward recalibrations of the Uranus and Neptune spectra by factors of 1.6 and 1.12, respectively. Both graphic and tabular results are presented.
