Scientific paper

The comparison of visible and IR three-dimensional distributions of interplanetary dust clouds has indicated that while visual brightness predictions based on IR models are compatible with observations for large, epsilon greater than 70 deg elongations they would collapse upon extrapolation to the solar vicinity. It is speculated that this is due to the shape of the isodensity surfaces of dust, as well as to the relative effects of scattered vs emitted radiation along the line-of-sight.
