The Change in Near-Ecliptic Zodiacal Light Brightness with Heliocentric Distance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 119))

Abstract

Background starlight observed by the Pioneer 10 Imaging Photopolarimeter from beyond the asteroid belt is used to isolate zodiacal light in Pioneer observations at heliocentric distances R between 1 and 3 AU. Near—ecliptic zodiacal light brightness data in the range 65° to l80° elongation ε are used to depict changes in the shape of the zodiacal light with ε and R and are compared to the corresponding views seen from the Earth and from the Helios 1 and 2 spacecraft.
