Description
Absolutely calibrated measurements of the reflectivity of Saturn in 1992
are presented. The observations were carried out using a Circular
Variable Filter in combination with a photometer with a single element
InSb detector at the 1.54m Carlos Sanchez infrared telescope of the
Observatorio del Teide in the Canary Islands (Spain). The spectral
ranges covered were 1.4-2.4μm and 2.6-4.5μm. Besides the
measurements at the disk, values of the reflectance of the Saturn's
rings in the West Ansa were obtained. A comparison with the few related
published works is made, and the significant spectral features in this
wavelength region are discussed. A spectrum of Jupiter obtained in 1993
is also presented and compared with spectra obtained by us in 1991 using
the same instrumental configuration.
