The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) offers a new opportunity for the study of extended solar system structures discovered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). It is expected that of these structures, Type 2 dust trails may be detected by the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE), in which case there will be a final chance to discover their parent sources, which are as yet unknown, by immediate follow-up from groundbased imaging along the trail. Zodiacal dust bands will be easily detected at most wavelengths by DIRBE, allowing for additional analysis of their structure and geometry, as well as comparison at near-infrared wavelengths with the spectra of asteroid family members from which they are thought to derive. The other COBE experiments, as a consequence of their large beam sizes and long operating wavelengths, are not expected generally to detect these structures in the broad zodiacal emission.
