Hubble Space Telescope observations of the 1990 equatorial disturbance on Saturn - Images, albedos, and limb darkeningThe HST recorded 150 images of the September 1990 equatorial eruption on Saturn in six passbands; four of the passbands were selected for photometric analysis, and the images are compared with those obtained before the onset of the disturbance and those from a time when no indication of the disturbance remained. Using deconvolved images from all three observational epochs, measurements were conducted of reflectivities of the disk along parallels of latitude as a function of longitudinal distance from the central meridian, as well as along the central meridian, as a function of latitude from zero to 90 deg.
