We present our new model for the thermal infrared emission of Saturn's rings based on a multilayer approximation. In our model, (1) the equation of classical radiative transfer is solved directly for both visible and infrared light, (2) the vertical heterogeneity of spin frequencies of ring particle
Since the Saturn orbit insertion of the Cassini spacecraft in mid-2004, the Cassini composite infrared spectrometer (CIRS) measured temperatures of Saturn's main rings at various observational geometries. In the present study, we apply our new thermal model . Icarus 201, 634-654) for fitting to the
