First far-ultraviolet disk-integrated phase curve analysis of Mimas, Tethys and Dione from the Cassini-UVIS data sets Emilie M. Royera,, Amanda R. Hendrixb, a University of Colorado, LASP, 3665 Discovery Dr., Boulder, CO 80303 b PSI, Tucson, AZ Abstract We perform an analysis of the photometric properties of the icy Saturnian satellites at 180 nm, based on the first far-UV disk-integrated phase curves of Mimas, Tethys and Dione. Their interactions with the environment (the E-ring and the magnetosphere) are investigated, leading to a better understanding of the effects of exogenic processes on the system of Saturn. We find that Tethys and Dione have a leading hemisphere brighter than their trailing hemisphere at far-UV wavelengths, while Mimas exhibits a quite uniform reflectance on its surface. No asymmetry is observed between the Saturnian and anti-Saturnian hemispheres of those satellites, indicating that exogenic processes are important primarily on the leading and trailing hemispheres. Tethys shows a narrower opposition effect, suggesting a more porous regolith on its surface than on Dione and Mimas. This could be the consequence of more significant bombardment by the E-ring grains at the orbit of Tethys. Dione’s photometric properties reveal a more absorbing surface, which could be explained by a lower amount of E-ring grain bombardment and/or by the deposit of a darkening agent mainly on its trailing side.

Introduction The midsize satellites of Saturn have been observed since 1980 by two space missions: Voyager and Cassini. While the first close-up images were obtained in the early 1980s, the planetary community waited 24 more years for the arrival of the Cassini spacecraft around Saturn on July, 1 st 2004 , to investigate the Saturnian system in detail. For the first time, a significant amount of information on those satellites have been acquired at far-ultraviolet (FUV) wavelengths. Buratti and Veverka (1984) were the first to analyze Tethys and Dione disk-integrated phase curves, using Voyager clear filter data. No information was available on the opposition surge, due to a lack of data at solar phase angles smaller than 8◦ . They observed a leading/trailing asymmetry (where the leading hemisphere is centered on 90◦ W and the trailing hemisphere is centered on 270◦ W) with a leading hemisphere brighter on Tethys and Dione; they found Mimas to have a slightly brighter trailing hemisphere, despite the poor quality of Email address: Emilie.Royer@lasp.colorado.edu (Emilie M. Royer) Preprint submitted to Icarus the data. Verbiscer and Veverka (1992) also reported a slightly brighter trailing hemisphere (TH) on Mimas at 0.48 µm using Voyager data. This leading versus trailing hemisphere brightness has also been predicted by the model of Hamilton and Burns (1994): as written in note 16 of that paper, the E-ring grains overtaking Mimas in its orbit should primarily impact the trailing side. Buratti et al. confirmed this result again in 1998, using ground-based data at 0.9 µm. Moreover, Buratti et al. (1998) showed that at 0.9 µm Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea are far brighter than any other class of object in the Solar system, each of them having a leading hemisphere (LH) geometric albedo greater than 0.70. This is also true in near-UV and visible wavelengths (Buratti and Veverka, 1984; Nelson et al., 1987). The high albedos suggest that these water-ice surfaces contain few low albedo contaminants and also support the idea that the optical properties of the mid-size Saturnian satellites are strongly affected by deposits of bright ice grains from the E-ring (Buratti et al., 1998). Previously, no correlations between the geological units and the color and albedo patterns were found for the five midsize satellites of Saturn, suggesting that the photometric properties are July 21, 2014 due largely to exogenic alterations (Buratti et al., 1990). More recently, in 2007, Verbiscer et al. used Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data to show a positive correlation between the E-ring grain flux and the geometric albedo of satellites. Detailed studies of the photometric and spectral properties of the Saturnian satellites started with the analysis of the Cassini data sets. Among them, we can note in 2010, the papers of Pitman et al. and Filacchione et al., which also reported a leading hemisphere brighter than the trailing one on Tethys and Dione, both using the Cassini-VIMS (Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) instrument. Pitman et al. (2010) analyzed disk-integrated spectrophotometric properties of the five midsize satellites, in the visible and infrared between 0.35 and 5.01 µm, and also derived the bolometric Bond albedos of Mimas (0.67±0.10), Tethys (0.61±0.09) and Dione (0.52±0.08). They gave new refined values of the major photometric quantities for both leading and trailing hemispheres. An extended study comes from Filacchione et al. (2010) , who provided comparative study of the spectral characteristics of the mid-size and minor Saturnian satellites. They investigated the visible spectral slopes (0.3µm - 0.55 µm) and found a strong forward scattering component on Tethys. They investigated the diskintegrated composition of the satellites and the amount of contaminant present in the water ice, as well as the grain size distribution. Carbon dioxide was suggested as a possible contaminant of the water ice on the most exterior satellites (Hyperion, Iapetus and Phoebe). That study found no particular hemispheric brightness asymmetry at Mimas; the largest hemispheric albedo dichotomy was found on Dione. A large amount of contaminant covering Dione’s trailing side could explain it, as suggested by Clark et al. (2008). Schenk et al. (2011) created global color maps on the midsize icy satellites in three colors (UV-Green-IR). Color patterns were highlighted, especially on the leading hemispheres of Tethys and Mimas, where a blueish lens shape at the equator, extending ±20◦ in latitude on Tethys and ±40◦ on Mimas, was clearly observed. While Voyager images already showed this equatorial band across the leading hemisphere of Tethys (Smith et al., 1981; Stooke, 1989, 2002; Buratti et al., 1990), it was the first time that it was observed on Mimas. Howett et al. (2011, 2012) with Cassini-CIRS near-IR data produced results correlated with the observations of Schenk et al. (2011). A thermal inertia anomaly was discovered, matching the location of the blue lenses on Mimas and Tethys. Energetic electron bombardment is the main hypothesis proposed for both the thermal iner- tia anomalies and the observed color patterns (Paranicas et al., 2012). The 1980’s and 1990’s hosted the development of several photometric models (Hapke, 1981, 1984, 1986; Shkuratov et al., 1999; Lumme and Bowell, 1981; Buratti, 1985). Cassini scientists have thus benefited from this advancement in theory to retrieve more information from phase curves. The greater amount of data of a better quality and resolution brought by Cassini, as well as the better coverage in solar phase angles and these model improvements have led to numerous discoveries about these midsize satellites of Saturn. Cassini provides the first opportunity to observe this region in detail in the FUV domain, over a long period of time and with a wide variety of solar phase angles not accessible from Earth. While acquiring unexpected observations in visible and infrared, the UV represents a third piece of the puzzle to obtain a global understanding of the system of Saturn. The ultraviolet wavelengths are particularly sensitive to relatively small amounts of surface weathering (Hapke, 2001; Hendrix et al., 2003). By probing the uppermost layers of the icy satellite surfaces, they allow the study of the exogenic processes that alter them, such as bombardment by E-ring grains, charged particles and plasma. Ion bombardment of ices is known to produce defects in the ice. These processes altering the surfaces, create voids and bubbles that affect the light scattering properties of the surface. They can also change the chemistry by trapping gases, which can produce spectral absorption features (Johnson, 1997; Johnson and Quickenden, 1997; Kouchi and Kuroda, 1990; Sack et al., 1992). Heavy (less-penetrating) damaging ions have been seen to brighten surfaces in the visible (Sack et al., 1992). Bombardment of charged particle can implant new chemical species, can drive chemical reactions and species creation, alter grain size and other microstructure and even sputter away the surface. We present here the first disk-integrated far-UV phase curves of three midsize icy satellites of Saturn: Mimas, Tethys and Dione. The layout of the paper is as follows; Section 2 presents the instrument and datasets. Section 3 deals with the disk-integrated phase curves retrieved from the observations. Section 4 details the Hapke model we use, followed by its results and analysis in Section 5. Section 6 deals with the interpretation of such results. 2 2. Observations and datasets Background signals, from the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG) and the sky background, are removed prior to apply calibration corrections. We determine an average background per row by averaging the signal from several rows far from the satellite. We analyze data in terms of reflectance: r = I/F, where I is the measured signal from the satellite and πF is the incident solar flux. The solar spectra come from data measured by SOLSTICE on the SORCE spacecraft on the day of the observation adjusted for the solar longitude (McClintock et al., 2000). The solar spectrum is corrected to the heliocentric distance, using heliocentric distances from the HORIZONS website (http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi). 2.1. Observations The UVIS (Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph subsystem) instrument, described in detail by Esposito et al. (2004), is composed of two-dimensional CODACON detectors that provide simultaneous spectral and onedimensional spatial images. The far-UV channel covers wavelengths from 111.5 nm to 191.2 nm. The detector format is 1024 spectral pixels by 64 spatial pixels. Each spectral pixel is 0.25 mrad and each spatial pixel is 1.0 mrad projected on the sky. Our study focuses on observations using the low-resolution slit, giving a spectral resolution of 0.48 nm and a spatial FOV of 1.5 mrad in the spectral dimension. We use disk-integrated observations spanning the entire Cassini mission from 2004 until the most recent ones in 2013, as listed in Tables A.2, A.3 and A.4 in appendix. A filling factor, which is the ratio of the area of the satellite on the area of a pixel projected to the sky, normalizes each observation to a common distance. As shown in Figure 1, the satellite usually appears on one or two spatial pixels of the detector. Signals from each pixel containing the satellite are summed. The integration time is usually 120 seconds, thus an observation of few minutes contains multiple measurements that are averaged. 2.2. Data sets Figure 2 displays the distribution in longitudes and solar phase angles (α, hereafter referred to in the text as phase angles) of our data sets for Mimas, Tethys and Dione. Additional information is given in Tables A.2, A.3 and A.4. The leading hemisphere, between 0 and 180◦ W longitude contains more observations for each satellite, especially at phase angles lower than 10◦ . The three satellites exhibit a regular longitude visibility pattern, due to the orbit of Cassini in the Saturn system. Data over a wide range of phase angles, from 0.3◦ to 168.2◦ , have been obtained. Figure 2: Distribution in longitude and solar phase angle (in degrees) for UVIS disk-integrated observations of Mimas, Tethys and Dione. The dashed line divides the leading hemisphere (from 0 to 180◦ W) from the trailing one (from 180 to 360◦ W). Figure 1: A sample observation showing the satellite Dione in the UVIS slit. Each rectangle, limited by white lines, represents a spatial pixel. The notations indicate that Dione is partially on pixel 32 and pixel 31. This is a disk-integrated configuration, Dione being smaller than a pixel. On the bottom left, some details are given about the date, time, observational geometry and the position of the spacecraft. The Mimas data set has 137 observations with phase angles spanning from 0.61◦ to 163.57◦ . The Tethys data set has 84 observations and phase angles spanning from 3 0.32◦ to 163.75◦ , while Dione’s has 90 observations with phase angles spanning from 0.49◦ to 168.22◦ . Changes in brightness with longitude, known as the rotational phase, are partially taken into account by dividing our data set into leading and trailing hemispheres. More complete longitude coverage will be necessary to apply a full rotational correction. This could be important in particular for Dione, which displays bright fractures on its trailing hemisphere near 240◦ W (Stephan et al., 2010). greater. Dione and Tethys are of similar size, with diameters of 531.1 km and 561.4 km respectively. In the FUV, our results for Tethys and Dione show a leading hemisphere brighter than the trailing by a factor about 1.5. Mimas shows similar leading and trailing hemispheres in FUV wavelengths. Derived from the UVIS observations, the geometric albedos of Tethys’ leading hemisphere and Mimas are equivalent with value about 0.48 at 180 ± 5 nm. The trailing hemisphere of Tethys and the leading hemisphere of Dione have a geometric albedo of about 0.32 at the same wavelength. Dione’s trailing hemisphere is the darkest of all with a geometric albedo of about 0.18. These values correlate with the distance to Saturn, especially for the trailing hemispheres where the brightest satellite is Mimas, following by Tethys then Dione. The Tethys leading and trailing sides also seem to exhibit a more intense opposition surge than Mimas or Dione; the slope of the solar phase curve appears to be steeper below 10◦ of phase angle. Figure 5 displays a more detailed representation of the phase curves for each hemisphere, where we subdivide further: the Saturnian hemisphere is between 315 and 45◦ ; the leading hemisphere is between 45 and 135◦ , the anti-Saturnian hemisphere covers 135 to 225◦ and the trailing hemisphere is between 225 and 315◦ . The leading/trailing phase curves formed from these narrower hemispheres lead to the same conclusion as in Figure 4. Conversely, no differences can be observed between the Saturnian and anti-Saturnian hemispheres of each satellites. These results suggest that processes that alter the surfaces act primarily on the leading and trailing hemispheres. We note that the reduced number of data points does not always allow a definitive conclusion about hemispherical asymmetries, especially on Mimas where we do not have anti-Saturnian observations at low phase angles. Figure 6 represents the rotational phase curves of Mimas, Tethys and Dione at about 15◦ phase angle. The leading/trailing asymmetry still appears on the Tethys and Dione phase curves. Nevertheless, the small amount of points doesn’t allow to properly fit these curves. We need more complete coverage in longitude in order to be able to perform a rotational correction on our data sets. 3. Phase curves We choose to focus on the 180 nm wavelength (±5 nm), given the spectral shape of icy satellites as displayed in Figure 3. At wavelengths shorter than 165 nm the spectrum is very dark, a consequence of the edge of a water-ice absorption band (Hendrix and Hansen, 2008). The spectrum is the brightest and provide the best signal over noise ratio (SNR) around 180nm. Figures 4 and 5 present the first far-ultraviolet diskintegrated phase curves of Mimas, Tethys and Dione at 180±5 nm . Figure 3: Tethys reflectance spectrum from observation FUV2013 166 21 53 00 UVIS 192TE LOPHASE001 PIE around 1◦ solar phase angle. The spectrum is very dark below 165nm and displays the water ice absorption edge at 165 nm. In Figure 4, we divide the satellite surfaces into two hemispheres: the leading and the trailing hemispheres, as defined in Figure 2. A zoom on the phase angles from 0◦ to 15◦ is included for each satellite. The background subtraction accounts for a big part in the value of the error bars. Because Mimas is the smallest of the three satellites with a diameter of 198.2 km, its error bars are 4. Hapke modeling Among the few analytical photometric models cited in the introduction, Hapke’s equations have seen the widest application to icy surfaces. Thus, in order to make comparisons with previous studies, we propose 4 (a) Mimas (b) Tethys (c) Dione Figure 4: Leading/Trailing hemispheres of Mimas, Tethys and Dione.

Our methodology follows the one described by Hendrix et al. (2005); we use a LevenbergMarquardt algorithm to determine the best fits. Photometric properties can lead to enhanced understanding of the structure of a regolith. Parameters such as the single scattering albedo ω, the scattering lobe parameters b and c, the geometric albedo Ap, the roughness Θ, and the shadow hiding parameters B0 and h can be determined by spectrophotometry, allowing for the characterization of a surface. Photometric properties are also useful to fully investigate the composition and grain sizes of a surface. surfaces, we use a simple form of the IMSA Hapke model, which assumes that the opposition surge is created only by the shadow-hiding process. We do not account for the coherent-backscatter process, as it requires phase angles smaller than 2◦ to be constrained and it is more commonly observed on brighter surfaces (Nelson et al., 1998), although some studies show that it could be important on low-albedo surfaces also (Shkuratov and Helfenstein, 2001; Verbiscer et al., 2005; Buratti et al., 2010). In addition, we have tested the possibility of a Coherent Backscattering Opposition Effect (CBOE) with the 2012 IMSA Hapke model and preliminary results don’t show any evidence for CBOE on these icy satellites at 180 nm. 4.1. Parameters Because our datasets cover a wide range of phase angles, we choose to use a two parameters HenyeyGreenstein function (2P-HG) (Domingue et al., 1991): Because our data sets are somewhat sparse at very small phase angles and we are observing quite UV-dark 5 (a) Mimas Saturn/anti-Saturn hemispheres (b) Mimas Leading/Trailing hemispheres (c) Tethys Saturn/anti-Saturn hemispheres (d) Tethys Leading/Trailing hemispheres (e) Dione Saturn/anti-Saturn hemispheres (f) Dione Leading/Trailing hemispheres Figure 5: Detailled view of the Saturn, anti-Saturn, Leading and Trailing hemispheres of Mimas, Tethys and Dione. Each hemisphere spans 90 degrees of longitude. 6 P(α) = (1 − c) ∗ (1 − b2 ) (1 + 2b cos(α) + b2 ) 3 2 + c ∗ (1 − b2 ) 3 (1 − 2b cos(α) + b2 ) 2 Domingue and Verbiscer (1997) demonstrated that using the 2P-HG or a 3P-HG is equivalent, as long as the coverage in large phase angles is adequate. The 2PHG is the most commonly used, where b describes the amplitude of the scattering lobe, and the c parameters describes the direction of scattering, forward or backward. Both parameters vary between 0 and 1. A value of c = 0 implies pure forward scattering; α is the solar phase angle. The values of ω, b, and c require information on both the forward (α >100◦ ) and backward scattering (α <30◦ ) directions, to be constrained. The roughness parameter, Θ, has been fixed in our analysis. It requires observations at phase angles greater than 90◦ to be well constrained. In addition, Θ is not expected to be wavelength-dependent. Based on previous literature and on the work of Verbiscer and Veverka (1992) we decided to fix it to the value of 20◦ . The Shadow-Hiding Opposition Effect (SHOE) parameters are B0 , the amplitude, which requires phase angles less than 30◦ to be constrained and h, the angular width of the opposition surge, linked to the porosity, which requires phase angles smaller than 5◦ (Domingue et al., 1998). B0 was allowed to vary between 0 and 1, 1 being characteristic of an opaque particle. Both parameters were initially fixed to the values from Verbiscer and Veverka (1992) in order to retrieve the ω, b and c parameters. Then the B0 and h values were refined. The h parameter can be related to the porosity P by the equation: √ 3 3 (2) h = − ln(P) Y , where Y = 8 ln( rrsl ) (a) Mimas (b) Tethys This is given assuming an uniform grain size lunarlike distribution. rl /r s is the ratio of the effective radius of the largest grain to the effective radius of the smallest grain (Hapke, 1986; Helfenstein and Veverka, 1987). 4.2. Error bars The initial error bars on the Hapke photometric parameters are taken to be equal to the fine grid step sizes used in our analysis. They are as follows: ±0.01 for ω, ±0.02 for b and c, ±0.01 for B0 and ±0.10 for h. The accuracy to which these parameters can be determined is highly dependent on the quality of the data sets being modeled. The revised error bars, after completing of the Levenberg-Marquardt fit analysis, take into account scatter in the data sets and phase angle coverage. (c) Dione Figure 6: Rotational phase curves of Mimas, Tethys and Dione at about 15◦ phase angle. 7 The estimation of empirical errors bars on each parameter was made by comparing the measured solar phase curve of each data set with the model generated using the best-fit parameters, with one parameter being varied to check the effect of the fit on the phase curve, including the scatter of data. The constraints on the variation in any single parameter based on the phase angle coverage in each data set was also judged. We report these error in each of the final figures as the best a posteriori estimates of the parameter errors. The final error bars, derived from the quality of fit, are shown in Table 1. 5. Results Figure 8: IMSA Hapke model (Hapke, 2012) at 180 nm. The Leading hemisphere (LH) of Tethys and Dione are clearly brighter than their trailing hemisphere (TH). Tethys LH and TH are also brighter than Dione. This is consistent with the fact that Tethys is closer to Saturn and Enceladus, so it receives more E-ring grains and energetic electrons. Both hemispheres of Mimas are similar. At phase angles smaller than 20◦ , Tethys exhibits steeper curves on its leading and trailing sides. This demonstrates a different opposition effect. Table 1 gives the best-fit Hapke parameters determined in this analysis for both hemispheres of Mimas, Tethys and Dione. Figures 7 and 8 show the models and corresponding Hapke model solutions at 180 nm. Figure 8 shows the same modelled solar phase curves as in Figure 7, but they are over-plotted, allowing an easier comparison of the three satellites. 5.1. Single particle scattering terms The single-scatter albedo ω and the b and c terms are the parameters most robustly characterized by the Hapke model. The leading hemispheres of Tethys and Dione have higher values of ω than their trailing hemispheres, while both Mimas hemispheres are equivalent in ω, within the error bars. The single scattering albedo is driven by composition. These results show that the Mimas TH and LH likely have roughly similar composition, while the trailing hemispheres of Tethys and Dione include additional absorbing species. The relatively low ω values signal that single-scattering likely dominates over multiple scattering. The b parameter is the amplitude of the scattering lobes. The 2P-HG assumes that the half-width of the forward and backward scattering lobes are equivalent and that the relative amplitude varies. The c parameter relates to the direction of scatter. No forwardscattering components have been found in this analysis, only backward-scattering. Figure 9 illustrates the 2P-HG functions. The main differences appear at phase angles lower than 40◦ . We can consider that the c values are equivalent for each hemisphere of the satellites, and that the b parameter values are equivalent for both hemispheres of Mimas, Tethys and the trailing hemisphere of Dione. The exception is the Dione LH, which has the lowest b value. Figure 9: Phase functions: 2P-HG functions at 180 nm. Within the error bars, it is delicate to make differences between these phase functions, except that Dione’s leading hemisphere is less backscattering. All the other curves are the similar within error bars. 5.2. Opposition effect parameters A comparison of the shape of the phase curves and IMSA 2012 Hapke models (Figs. 4, 5, 7, 8) indicates that Tethys has a different behavior than Mimas and Dione. At phase angles smaller than 20◦ , Tethys displays a narrower curve, suggesting a strong opposition effect on this satellite in both hemispheres. This could be the result of a different microstructure of the regolith. The Hapke model results reflect this difference, with both the Tethys LH and TH having smaller values of 8 Figure 7: Hapke best fit of the leading and trailing hemispheres of Mimas, Tethys and Dione at 180 nm. The model is very sensitive, strongly dependent, to the data set phase angle coverage, that can introduce a bias in the interpretation.

However, it is necessary to be cautious with a possible bias because we don’t have much data at very small phase angles on the TH. The h parameter is related to the porosity and needs phase angles lower than 5◦ to be well constrained. Our results should therefore be considered as a test of the Hapke model for this parameter, with moderately low phase angle coverage. We conclude h cannot be determined for Mimas TH; there are not enough data points, which gives a value of h = 1.00. Assuming a lunar-like uniform grain size distribution as explained in equation (2), we derive porosities of 25% on the LH of Tethys and 49 % on its TH, while Mimas and Dione have very low porosities (<5%). If the CBOE were contributing significantly, the derived porosity can be inaccurate, providing values that are high (Helfenstein et al., 1998). However, our preliminary tests show that CBOE is not significant. The B0 parameter is a representation of the transparency of the particles, a value of 1 meaning an opaque particle. The three satellites have equivalent values, suggesting quite opaque particles. But, here again, the error bars are large due to less than complete coverage at small phase angles. As shown on Figure 10, and in reference to the work of Verbiscer et al. (2007), we have plotted the opposition effect amplitude as a function of its angular width. The results form two distinct groups, with Tethys as a member of the first group and, Mimas and Dione as members of the second one, since Tethys exhibits much lower values of the h parameter. This result is in agreement with the work of Verbiscer et al. (2007), who also formed the same groups. However, the opposition surge behavior varies with wavelength. Verbiscer et al. (2007) found Mimas and Dione to have higher values of B0 than Tethys in the visible (along with larger h values), whereas in the FUV we find all B0 values to be similar. Figure 10: The opposition effect amplitude vs. its angular width for Mimas, Tethys and Dione leading hemisphere (LH) and trailing hemisphere (TH). The Mimas TH h value hasn’t been able to be fitted due to a lack of data at very low phase angle in this hemisphere. Exception of the Mimas TH, we can distinguish 2 groups: the first one composed of Dione with the Mimas’ LH and the second one composed of Tethys. For both Tethys and Dione, we observe a higher value of ωP0 on the LH than on the TH (Fig. 11), when we expect more bombardment by E-ring grains on their leading side. Dione also has lower values than Tethys; this is consistent with the fact that Dione is further from Enceladus, the source of the E-ring. We expect Dione to experience less bombardment by E-ring grains than Tethys and Mimas. Mimas displays a slightly higher value on the TH, but with large error bars. We expect that Mimas should experience more E-ring grain bombardment on its trailing side (Hamilton and Burns, 1994). 5.3. Amount of bombardment The ωP(0) value describes the total light scattered from the particles, both from internal and surface scattering (Hendrix et al., 2005). The B0 term being a measure of the opacity of particles, it indicates the level of surface scattering, where B0 = S(0) / ωP(0). The term S(0) characterizes the contribution of light scattered from near the front surface of the particles as part of the opposition surge, while ωP(0) describes the total light scattered from the particles, both from internal and surface scattering. Hendrix et al. (2005) linked the ωP(0) value to the amount of bombardment experienced by the satellite surfaces, based on a study of the Galilean satellites. Our results also support this interpretation. Figure 11: Amount of bombardment. The quantity ωP(0) could be related to the amount of bombardment received at the surface, Tethys and Dione LH having higher values than their TH. 10 6. Discussion agent on TH) acting simultaneously is conceivable. We were expecting a slight difference between both hemispheres of Mimas, however the quality of the UVIS datasets on Mimas do not allow us to detect such an asymmetry. The leading and trailing hemispheres have different coverage in phase angle, and in particular we are lacking observations at very low phase angles on the trailing side. Thus, the Hapke model cannot retrieve realistic opposition surge parameters B0 and h on this side. The Hapke parameters being quite correlated with each other, this can also influence the ω and 2P-HG function parameters. On Mimas, E-ring grains are expected to impact primarily the trailing side (Hamilton and Burns, 1994), while the energetic electrons impact the leading side (Paranicas et al., 2012). More equivalent phase angle coverage on both hemispheres would give some indication of the photometric behavior induced by one or the other exogenic processes. Hendrix et al. (2012) showed for Mimas that the FUV wavelengths are largely not sensitive to effects of energetic charged particle bombardment due to the shallower sensing depths; however they used an observation centered on the anti-Saturnian hemisphere, so a clear comparison between central LH and central TH has yet to be accomplished. Our results demonstrate a different photometric behavior of Tethys surface at low phase angles compared to Mimas and Dione, when looking at the opposition surge parameters. While Mimas and Dione have similar shadow-hiding parameters, Tethys has a narrower width of its opposition surge peak in the FUV. The smaller values of h of Tethys indicate a possibly different microstructure of the regolith, compared with Mimas and Dione. This can be linked to porosity. Tethys has derived porosity values of 25% for the LH and 49% for the TH, while porosity values for Dione and Mimas are less than 1%. We need to remember that these porosity estimates are made under the assumption of a lunar-like grain distribution, with significant error bars on the h term. The CBOE was not taken into account, based on preliminary results showing that it is negligible on these satellites. However, our results are consistent with the visible-regime results of Verbiscer et al. (2007), suggesting some amount of consistency in opposition surge width of a wide wavelength range. Nevertheless, at FUV wavelengths, the amplitude of the opposition surge, related to the particles opacity, seems to remain the same for all satellites, contrary to the visible wavelength results. These opposition surge results suggest that the regolith microstructure and granularity as well as the composition, driving the opacity can be related to orbital position of the satellites relative to E-ring grain In this paper we have presented the first FUV diskintegrated phase curves of Mimas, Tethys and Dione. Observations show a leading hemisphere brighter than the trailing on Tethys and Dione, while Mimas has a quite uniform brightness across its surface. While the Mimas and Tethys leading hemisphere reflectance peaks at about 0.5, Tethys’ trailing side and Dione have much lower values of reflectance. Dione’s trailing side has a value of I/F equal to about 0.18 at zero phase angle. Dione’s hemispheric albedo asymmetry is also more pronounced than on Tethys: the leading/trailing brightness ratio is about 1.50 for Tethys and about 1.78 for Dione. Nevertheless, none of the three satellites seems to display an asymmetry between their Saturnian and anti-Saturnian hemispheres. This observation suggests significant interactions between those moons with the E-ring particles and Saturnian magnetosphere, two agents expected to act mainly on the leading and trailing faces of these satellites. Model results must be interpreted with caution. The UVIS data points are quite scattered at low phase angles and longitudes, especially on Dione. The absence of rotational correction for the three satellites, due to this lack of data points at different longitudes is an additional source of error. An overall uncertainty about 10 to 20 percent on the value of the data points should thus be considered. We also need more observations at very low phase angles to draw some conclusions with more conviction. Model parameters show a strong dependance to the coverage in data points at small phase angle. Great caution must be applied when it comes to the opposition surge absolute values given by the Hapke model. The scattering properties display some differences between the three satellites, especially on Dione, showing a more absorbent surface. Combining the phase function parameters, b and c, with the single scattering albedo ω (Fig. 11) shows that Dione exhibits a slightly different behavior where absorption dominates clearly over scattering on both hemispheres. This is not so obvious on Mimas and Tethys. Dione’s greater distance from Saturn and/or Enceladus could explain this effect. Dione is expected to receive fewer amount of E-ring grains from Enceladus and thus should exhibit less fresh bright water-ice on its surface. In addition, an exogenic process acting only on the trailing side, such as a darkening agent coming from outside the system of Saturn for example (suggested by Clark et al. (2008)), is another possible hypothesis. A combination of both processes (lower flux of E-ring grains on LH, darkening 11 density. Our results can also be linked with the amount of Ering grain bombardment experienced by each satellite hemisphere. As shown in Fig 11, the Dione LH and TH and Tethys TH have higher B0 values, and lower ωP(0) values, while the Mimas LH and TH and Tethys LH have lower B0 and higher ωP(0) values. As discussed by Hendrix et al. (2005), the ωP(0) term relates to total (internal + surface) scattering, while the B0 term relates to the amount of surface scattering (and the opaqueness of the particles). Thus, the surface with lower overall amounts of E-ring grain bombardment (Dione TH, LH and Tethys TH) have more contributions to scattering from surface scattering from the grains, while the grains on the Mimas LH and TH and Tethys LH, with more E-ring grain bombardment, demonstrate more overall scattering, with a greater relative contribution from internal scattering due to the relatively transparent nature of these grains. funding.

Conclusion Though the data sets are still somewhat limited in this study, useful results are obtained. We provide the first FUV values for the geometric albedo of Mimas, Tethys and Dione, as well as the first estimates of porosity from FUV data sets. More data at very low phase angles are required to characterize the opposition surge more accurately. We observe a LH/TH asymmetry on Tethys and Dione consistent with the visible and IR observations, while the reflectance is quite uniform across Mimas’ surface. No difference in reflectance between the Saturnian and anti-Saturnian hemispheres have been observed on those satellites. Our analysis shows that Dione has a more absorbing surface than the other satellites. We explain it by a less intense bombardment by E-ring grains and/or a darkening agent acting on its trailing side. Tethys exhibits a different opposition effect in the FUV domain than Mimas and Dione, reflecting a more porous surface. Intense bombardment by E-ring grains could be responsible for gardening the surface and changing the microstructure on Tethys. 8.
