摘要
Properties of the zodiacal dust bands are derived from fits to Infrared Astronomical Satellite profiles of the ecliptic. Three observations lead to the conclusion that the dust-band material is spread over a range of heliocentric distances between the asteroid belt and the Sun: parallax, color temperature, and wavelength dependence of the band latitudes. The orientations of the midplanes of the bands are found to be typical of asteroids. A model of "migrating bands," wherein dust is produced near the asteroid belt and spirals into the Sun under the influence of Poynting-Robertson drag, is used to explain the range of heliocentric distances of dust-band material.
