The NGST and the zodiacal light in the Solar system

Nick Gorkavyi, Leonid Ozernoy, John Mather, Tanya Taidakova

Published 1999-10-29Version 1

We develop a physical model of the zodiacal cloud incorporating the real dust sources of asteroidal, cometary, and kuiperoidal origin. Using the inferred distribution of the zodiacal dust, we compute its thermal emission and scattering at several wavelengths (1.25, 5, and 20 $\mu$m) as a function of NGST location assumed to be at 1 AU or 3 AU. Areas on the sky with a minimum of zodiacal light are determined.
