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 کاملSurface Brightness Measurements for APM Galaxies
This paper considers some simple surface brightness (SB) estimates for galaxies in the Automated Plate Measuring Machine (APM) catalogue in order to derive homogeneous SB data for a very large sample of faint galaxies. The isophotal magnitude and area are used to estimate the central surface brightness and total magnitude based on the assumption of an exponential SB profile. The surface brightn...
متن کاملSurface Brightness Measurements of Extended Galactic Nebulae
We discuss the importance of digitised sky-limited Schmidt Band R-band, and H images of extended translucent (A B ' 1 ? 5 mag) and dark (A B > 5 mag) clouds. In translucent clouds (e.g. high-latitude cirrus) photons can penetrate through the whole cloud and control the physical and chemical processes. Comparison of the B images with far-infrared/submillimetre CO, C I], and C II] emission provid...
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...
