Abstract
The Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) observations of the zodiacal dust emission are used to fit the dust grain composition and distribution in the ecliptical plane. We obtain a good fit to the data for a density distribution of black-body grains given by p = pr 0.66/log(1.7r/R) for r < 0.87R and r < 3oR
