Abstract
A re-analysis of the diffuse far UV radiation (λλ 1350–1480 Å) observed in the sky region ofl II≈180° and 0°≲b II≲40° is presented, as a revised version of a paper by Hayakawaet al. (1969). In comparison with the previous one, the value of the half optical depth of the Galazxy τ in our wavelength region is reduced, and the values of the albedo coefficient λ and the forward phase functiong are not well determined. If, however, we combine our results with the theoretical model of interstellar grains by Gilra, the value of τ is given by 0.13(5)≲τ≲0.18(5).
