Abstract:Occultation profiles for the nine confirmed Uranian rings obtained from Las Campanas, the European Southern Observatory, and Cerro Tololo on 15–16 August 1980 are compared. The α ring shows a “double-dip” structure; the η ring shows a broad and narrow component (similar to Saturn's F ring); and the ε ring shows six features that appear in the data from all three observatories. Diffraction fringes appear at the edges of several of the occultation profiles.
