Scientific paper

The opposition effect of Saturn's rings as seen by the CASSINI-ISS/WA camera is studied. The shape of opposition surge is shown to be highly dependent on the viewing geometry within the field of view. In Saturn's C ring plateau P8, the peak can be easily reproduced by a photometric model, assuming interparticle shadow-hiding only (RSHOE) and taking into account the ring finite vertical thickness. Ring properties like particle single scattering albedo, thickness-to-particle-size ratio H/R or ring volume filling factor can be derived.
