Description:
Observations of the linear polarization in the fully resolved 6818.8 A feature of CH4 in Saturn and Uranus show dramatic changes of linear polarization across the line profile. The change in position angle of polarization across the line core, especially for Saturn, indicates a likely Rayleigh scattering origin for the observed polarization.
