using the broadband array spectrograph system on the IRTF. The spectrum showed a silicate emission feature extending about 20% above the continuum. Two emission features at 10.3 and 11.2 µm appeared above the silicate band, the latter seemingly indicative of crystalline olivine. The 10.3-µm feature
Thermal IR spectroscopy of Saturn's A and B rings in the 8to 13-µm range reveals a smooth, Planck-like continuum with no spectral structure that could be attributed to optically thin water ice or silicate dust. The brightness temperatures of the A and B rings obtained by fitting a Planck function to
