2. 2 dr, where n(r) is the vertically integrated number density per radius increment for particles of radius r, and we have assumed that the ring particles are much larger than the wavelength of light. For small number densities, this is effectively the projected surface area of particles per unit ring area. Usually this is expressed as the "normal" optical depth, corresponding to rays arriving perpendicular to the mean plane of the rings.

5. In an occultation, the signal from a star (Cassini observes occultations in ultraviolet and infrared radiation) or the spacecraft (its microwave transmission) is "occulted" when the source passes behind the rings as seen by the observer. The source's spatial footprint on the rings is the smeared Fresnel-zone size (geometric mean of the wavelength and distance from the rings to the observer) and is generally tens of meters, comparable to the size of the typical largest ring particles. Thus, stellar and radio occultations are key tools in ascertaining ring microstructure.

10. The A-ring quadrants preceding the two longitudes aligned with an observer are up to tens of percent dimmer than the other two. The exact amplitudes depend on wavelength and the elevations of the observer and of the Sun as seen from Saturn.
