Scientific paper

The first spectroscopic measurement of the diffuse cosmic ultraviolet background in the range 1700 - 2850 Å has resulted in the detection at high Galactic latitude of an intensity of 300±100 photons (cm2s sr Å)-1 at 1800 Å without any correction necessary for starlight or airglow, a similar intensity over the range 1900 - 2500 Å after correction for measured airglow, and a similar intensity over the range 2500 - 2800 Å after correction for zodiacal light. This radiation may originate partly in line radiation from a halo of our Galaxy, and partly from extragalactic sources, perhaps the integrated light of distant galaxies.
