Scientific paper
Occultation profiles have been derived from Voyager 2 photopolarimeter observations of the nine pre-Voyager Uranian rings as well as of 1986U1R. The epsilon ring, which is the broadest and most massive, is noted to possess a wealth of structure which appears to persist coherently around the ring. The photopolarimeter data do not show any features globally ascribable to all the rings observed. Results are presented from a statistical analysis of photopolarimeter data for previously undetected or partial ring arcs.
