Synthetic scattered light images for different scattering phase functions: (top left) Mie theory for homogeneous spheres, (top right) a Henyey–Greenstein (HG) phase function with anisotropy parameter g = 0.94, corresponding to strong forward scattering, (bottom left) HG with mild forward scattering, and (bottom right) three-component HG model of Hedman & Stark (2015) for the G ring of Saturn. The disc is viewed from an angle 45 degrees below its midplane, with the line of nodes aligned east–west and the pericentre due west. Hence, the northern half of the disc lies closer to the observer.
