| 内容記述 | Deep spectra of the far-ultraviolet sky background have been obtained by the Voyager 2 Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) in the 500 to 1200 A wavelength range. New diffuse galactic background results, particularly in the 900 to 1100 A region, are presented, which extend the North Galactic Pole results of Holberg (1986) over a range of lower galactic latitudes. Twenty-four lines of sight are analyzed for the presence of residual diffuse continua. Typical upper limits of several hundred photons/cm s A sr are obtained for most lines of sight; however, a faint residual continuum is detected at several low-latitude locations. In Ophiuchus, a diffuse stellarlike continuum is attributed to scattering from interstellar dust. |
