“…To analyze those UV skymaps, we masked, in addition to high intensity regions not observed by GALEX, pixels within 40 • of the Gould Belt using the parameterization of Coşkunoglu et al (2019), or with latitude comprised between −40 • and 0 • , or 10 • from the bright stars Spica, Achernar, Algenib, Sirius, Mirzam, and Adhara known to possess dust-scattered UV halos (Murthy & Conn Henry 2011). Additionnally we selected bright UV stars from the Thor-Delta (TD1) catalog (Thompson et al 1995) with a flux at 1565 Å above 10 −10 erg cm −2 s −1 Å−1 and we masked pixels within 2 • .5 from sources position.…”

Where dust and gas are uniformly mixed, atomic hydrogen can be traced through the detection of far-infrared (FIR) or UV emission of dust. We considered, for the origin of discrepancies observed between various direct and indirect tracers of gas outside the Galactic plane, possible corrections to the zero levels of the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) detectors. We set the zero levels of the Planck-HFI skymaps as well as the 100 μm map from COBE/DIRBE and IRAS from the correlation between FIR emission and atomic hydrogen column density excluding regions of lowest gas column density. A modified blackbody model fit to those new zero-subtracted maps led to significantly different maps of the opacity spectral index β and temperature T and an overall increase in the optical depth at 353 GHz τ 353 of 7.1 × 10−7 compared to the data release 2 Planck map. When comparing τ 353 and the H i column density, we observed a uniform spatial distribution of the opacity outside regions with dark neutral gas and CO except in various large-scale regions of low N H i that represent 25% of the sky. In those regions, we observed an average dust column density 45% higher than predictions based on N H i with a maximum of 250% toward the Lockman Hole region. From the average opacity σ e353 = (8.9 ± 0.1) × 10−27 cm2, we deduced a dust-to-gas mass ratio of 0.53 × 10−2. We did not see evidence of dust associated with a Reynolds layer of ionized hydrogen. We measured a far-ultraviolet isotropic intensity of 137 ± 15 photons s−1 cm−2 sr−1 Å−1 in agreement with extragalactic flux predictions and a near-ultraviolet isotropic intensity of 378 ± 45 photons s−1 cm−2 sr−1 Å−1 corresponding to twice the predicted flux.
