Fitting Zodiacal Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Models of the zodiacal light are necessary to convert measured data taken from low Earth orbit into the radiation field outside the solar system. The uncertainty in these models dominates the overall uncertainty in determining the extragalactic background light for wavelengths λ < 100 μm.

The 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 کاملThe Imprint of the Cosmic Dark Ages on the Near Infrared Background
The redshifted light of the first (Pop III) stars might substantially contribute to the near infrared background (NIRB). By fitting recent data with models including upto-date Pop III stellar spectra, we find that such stars can indeed account for the whole NIRB residual (i.e. after ‘normal’ galaxy contribution subtraction) if the high redshift star formation efficiency is f⋆ = 10% − 50%, depen...
متن کاملAn 11.6 Micron Keck Search for Exo-Zodiacal Dust
We have begun an observational program to search nearby stars for dust disks that are analogous to the disk of zodiacal dust that fills the interior of our solar system. We imaged six nearby main-sequence stars with the Keck telescope at 11.6 mm, correcting for atmosphere-induced wavefront aberrations and deconvolving the point spread function via classical speckle analysis. We compare our data...
متن کاملCometary Origin of the Zodiacal Cloud and Carbonaceous Micrometeorites
The zodiacal cloud is a thick circumsolar disk of small debris particles produced by asteroid collisions and comets. The relative proportion in which these two source populations contribute to the zodiacal cloud and the exact physical mechanism that generates the bulk of observed dust were unknown. Here we model the IRAS observations of thermal emission from asteroid and cometary particles to e...
متن کاملFitting Second-order Models to Mixed Two-level and Four-level Factorial Designs: Is There an Easier Procedure?
Fitting response surface models is usually carried out using statistical packages to solve complicated equations in order to produce the estimates of the model coefficients. This paper proposes a new procedure for fitting response surface models to mixed two-level and four-level factorial designs. New and easier formulae are suggested to calculate the linear, quadratic and the interaction coeff...
