| Abstract: | The near-infrared (0.65–2.5μm) spectral albedo of Jupiter and Saturn with 1.5% spectral resolution is presented for the center of disk and for the limb. There is a distinct difference in the continuum slope between Jupiter and Saturn which may be attributed to a difference in the dust content or composition of the two atmospheres. There is an indication of limb brightening in the deepest CH4 bands on Saturn. No limb brightening is found for Jupiter. |
