POWERFUL MODEL FOR THE POINT-SOURCE SKY - FAR-ULTRAVIOLET AND ENHANCED MIDINFRARED PERFORMANCE

I report further developments of the Wainscoat et al. [ApJS, 83, 111 (1992)] model originally created for the point source infrared sky. The already detailed and realistic representation of the Galaxy (disk, spiral arms and local spur, molecular ring, bulge, spheroid) has been improved, guided by CO surveys of local molecular clouds, and by the inclusion of a component to represent Gould's Belt. The newest version of the model is very well validated by IRAS source counts. A major new aspect is the extension of the same model down to the far ultraviolet. I compare predicted and observed far-ultraviolet source counts from the Apollo 16 ''S201'' experiment (1400A) and the TD1 satellite (for the 1565A band).
