Models for the B ring (rh = 0.58, τdyn = 2.2, left) and the A ring (rh = 0.68, τdyn = 1, right) transparency versus elevation. The upper frame shows the transmission fraction T over sin B, as in Robbins et al. (2010), while the lower frames display the same as τphot versus B, following Colwell et al. (2007). Curves correspond to modelled maximum and minimum transmission over full range of ring longitudes. Size distribution models with W = 20 and ϵn = 0.1 were used. Points stand for B and A ring UVIS occultation data for different ring longitudes, traced from Figs. 5 and 6 in Robbins et al. (2010). Original UVIS data from Colwell et al. (2006, 2007).
