Scientific paper

The spectrum of Saturn and its rings between 45 and 115 microns has been measured at an average resolving power of 14 from the NASA Lear Jet. The combined brightness temperature of the rings and planetary disk decreases beyond 65 microns, in disagreement with previous results. A brightness temperature of 65 + or - 10 K is obtained for the planetary disk in the 80-110-micron wavelength range if a large-particle, constant-emissivity model is assumed for the rings. The possible effects of small particles in the rings are briefly considered.
