Infrared Emission at High Galactic Latitude
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2017
Abstract
Results obtained with the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) on the IR emission at high galactic latitude are reviewed. We present evidence for the detection of galactic emission at 12, 25, 60, and 100 μm. We describe the morphology of this emission and summarize work on the correlation of IR cirrus with H I, CO, and optical emission. We discuss the contribution of the neutral atomic, ionized, and molecular gas to the total IR emission and the contribution of different components of interstellar dust to the emission seen at different wavelengths.
