Title A name given to the resource The Diffuse Radiation Field at High Galactic Latitudes Subject The topic of the resource dust, extinction; local interstellar matter; surveys; ultraviolet: general; ultraviolet: ISM Description An account of the resource We have used GALEX observations of the north and south Galactic poles to study the diffuse ultraviolet background at locations where the Galactic light is expected to be at a minimum. We find offsets of 230-290 photon units in the far-UV (1531 and 480-580 photon units in the near-UV (2361 . Of this, approximately 120 photon units can be ascribed to dust-scattered light and another 110 photon units (190 in the near-UV) to extragalactic radiation. The remaining radiation is, as yet, unidentified and amounts to 120-180 photon units in the far-UV and 300-400 photon units in the near-UV. We find that molecular hydrogen fluorescence contributes to the far-UV when the 100 ?m surface brightness is greater than 1.08 MJy sr-1. 2018. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.
