Ultraviolet geometric albedo of Uranus

The purpose was to obtain ultraviolet flux measurements of Uranus before and after the January 1986 flyby past Uranus by Voyager. These measurements were used to determine absolute flux distributions in the wavelength range 1950 to 3200 A. This wavelength range is an important region to observe since the model atmospheres for Uranus indicate that the albedo spectrum in this region can tightly constrain the height of the photochemical haze layer
