Scientific paper

We use data from Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer to characterize ring shadow cooling and to document radial variations in ring thermal inertia. We show that shadow cooling is most distinct in the optically thin C ring and Cassini Division. More modest cooling is observed in the thicker B and A rings. These cooling rates across Saturn's rings correspond to observed variations in other ring parameters.
