Scientific paper

IRAS observations of the zodiacal dust emission at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns are used to fit the dust grain composition and distribution in the ecliptic plane. The results indicate that the dust distribution falls off much more slowly in the ecliptic plane than was previously calculated. It is suggested that the incompatibility of the different models may be due to the approximation made that the dust grains are not black bodies.
