Scientific paper

An inversion methodology is developed for the brightness integral of zodiacal thermal emission and is applied to IR observations by Murdock and Price (1985). It is found that the dependence on the heliocentric distance r of the volumetric absorption cross section of interplanetary dust particles at IR wavelengths cannot be described by the usual power-law relation which is frequently used to describe the r-dependence of the volumetric scattering cross section in the visible. The discrepancy between IR emission and visible scattering indicates that the mean absorption cross section of interplanetary particles at IR wavelengths varies significantly with heliocentric distance.
