We analyze observations made in August and November 1995 during the Earth and Sun crossings of Saturn's ring plane, respectively. The August 1995 observations combine data taken with the Adonis adaptive optics system at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and images from the Hubble Space Telesco
Recent Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the densities of neutral OH molecules that coexist with and are precursors of the plasma ions have constrained models for the plasma sources.

Thermal IR spectroscopy of Saturn's A and B rings in the 8to 13-Β΅m 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
