Abstract
⺠We used Cassini Saturn's rings images that exhibit the opposition spot. ⺠Phase functions were extracted for 211 locations in the main ring system. ⺠The opposition surge morphology is fit with a linear model and provides (A, HWHM, S). ⺠We found correlations with the morphological parameters and the ring optical depth. ⺠The correlation of S with the ring optical depth agrees with the shadow hiding.
