Heliocentric distance dependence of zodiacal light observed by Hayabusa2#

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
Zodiacal light (ZL) is sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) at optical wavelengths. The spatial distribution of IDPs in the Solar System may hold an important key to understanding the evolution of the Solar System and material ...
