Abstract

Observations of Uranus and Neptune were made at discrete wavelengths between 8.17 and 13.00 μm in order to provide an independent measure of the absolute brightness of the disk-averaged spectrum measured by Orton et al. (1987, Icarus 74, 1–12). The observations are consistent with the suggestion that an upward recalibration of the spectrum of Uranus by a factor of 1.60 and of Neptune by a factor of 1.12 in brightness is warranted.
