Ultraviolet observations of the diffuse galactic light from the S2/68 sky-survey telescope

Year: 1978

Type: article

Abstract: The diffuse galactic light has been measured in four wavebands centred on 2740, 2350, 1950 and 1550 Å from the background data of the S2/68 sky-survey telescope in the TD-1 satellite. Comparison of the data with the theoretical predictions from a radiative transfer model of the Galaxy has yielded values of the albedo of the interstellar dust.
