The Diffuse Radiation Field at High Galactic Latitudes

We have used GALEX observations of the north and south Galactic poles to study the diffuse ultraviolet background at locations where the Galactic light is expected to be at a minimum. We find offsets of 230-290 photon units in the far-UV (1531 ) and 480-580 photon units in the near-UV (2361 ). Of th...
