Zodiacal Light Surface Brightness Measurements by Atmosphere Explorer-C
Using the visible airglow photometer on the Atmosphere Explorer-C satellite, we have mapped the zodiacal light surface brightness at the wavelengths monitored by the instrument: 3371, 4278, 5200, 5577, 6300, and 7319 .~. The study constitutes a survey over this wavelength range, covering most of the celestial sphere, from altitudes above the atmospheric emissions, and free from atmospheric scat...
متن کاملSearch for brightness fluctuations in the zodiacal light at 25μm with ISO
We mapped at 25 μm five≈0.5◦×0.5◦ fields at low, intermediate and high ecliptic latitude with the photometer onboard the Infrared Space Observatory. The goal was to search for potential structures in the zodiacal light. No structures were seen in these five sample fields. For an aperture of 3′ diameter we find an upper limit for the underlying rms brightness fluctuations of±0.2%, which correspo...
متن کاملZodiacal Light Emission in the Planck mission
Context. The Planck satellite, scheduled for launch in 2007, will produce a set of all sky maps in nine frequency bands spanning from 30 GHz to 857 GHz, with an unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. Planets, minor bodies and diffuse interplanetary dust will contribute to the (sub)mm sky emission observed by Planck, representing a source of foreground contamination to be removed before extra...
متن کاملThe First Detections of the Extragalactic Background Light at 3000, 5500, and 8000å (ii): Measurement of Foreground Zodiacal Light
We present a measurement of the absolute surface brightness of the zodiacal light (3900–5100Å) toward a fixed extragalactic target at high ecliptic latitude based on moderate resolution (∼1.3Å per pixel) spectrophotometry obtained with the du Pont 2.5m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. This measurement and contemporaneous Hubble Space Telescope data from WFPC2 and FOS comprise a c...
متن کاملDynamical Zodiacal Cloud Models Constrained by High Resolution Spectroscopy of the Zodiacal Light
The simulated Doppler shifts of the solar Mg I Fraunhofer line produced by scattering on the solar light by asteroidal, cometary, and trans-Neptunian dust particles are compared with the shifts obtained by Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) spectrometer. The simulated spectra are based on the results of integrations of the orbital evolution of particles under the gravitational influence of planets...
