Description:
We present far-ultraviolet (FUV) observations of Mimas and Tethys, which show evidence for likely seasonal variation in UV albedo across their surfaces. The ultraviolet is an important wavelength regime for studying the effects of photolytic and radiolytic processes, because primarily the uppermost layers of the regolith and grains are sensed in this range.
