- W3106151849 abstract "The diffuse cosmic background radiation in the GALEX far ultraviolet (FUV, 1300 AA - 1700 AA) is deduced to originate only partially in the dust-scattered radiation of FUV-emitting stars: the source of a substantial fraction of the FUV background radiation remains a mystery. The radiation is remarkably uniform at both far northern and far southern Galactic latitudes, and it increases toward lower Galactic latitudes at all Galactic longitudes. We examine speculation that it might be due to interaction of the dark matter with the nuclei of the interstellar medium but we are unable to point to a plausible mechanism for an effective interaction. We also explore the possibility that we are seeing radiation from bright FUV-emitting stars scattering from a second population of interstellar grains---grains that are small compared with FUV wavelengths. Such grains are known to exist (Draine 2011) and they scatter with very high albedo, with an isotropic scattering pattern. However, comparison with the observed distribution (deduced from their $100 mu$m emission) of grains at high Galactic latitudes shows no correlation between the grains' location and the observed FUV emission. Our modeling of the FUV scattering by small grains also shows that there must be remarkably few such smaller grains at high Galactic latitudes, both North and South; this likely means simply that there is very little interstellar dust of any kind at the Galactic poles, in agreement with Perry & Johnston (1982). We also review our limited knowledge of the cosmic diffuse background at ultraviolet wavelengths shortward of Lyman $alpha$---it could be that our second component of the diffuse far-ultraviolet background persists shortward of the Lyman limit, and is the cause of the re-ionization of the Universe (Kollmeier et al. 2014)." @default.
