Abstract

Titan was observed in four broad passbands between 35 and 150 μm. The brightness temperature in this interval is roughly constant at 76 ± 3°K. Integrating Titan's spectrum from 5 to 150 μm yields an effective temperature of 86 ± 3°K. Both the bright and dark hemispheres of Iapetus were observed in one broadband filter with λ e ∼ 66 μm. The brightness temperatures for these two sides of Iapetus are 96 ± 9°K and 114 ± 10°K, respectively. The bright-side Bond albedo is calculated to be 0.61 −0.22 +0.16.
