Models of Dust Scattered Radiation in the Milky Way

<p>Photons from hot stars are scattered by interstellar dust grains to give rise to the diffuse Galactic light (DGL) in the UV. I have modeled the dust scattered light in the two GALEX bands (FUV: 152 nm&nbsp; and NUV: 236 nm) with a Monte Carlo program (available from ascl:1512.012). The spectral type, coordinates and distance of the stars are from the Hipparcos catalog and are modeled using Castelli-Kurucz templates. The dust distribution is taken from Green et al. (2019). The scattering phase function is given by the Henyey-Greenstein function.</p> <p>This data set includes 10 zipped files in each of the two GALEX bands with another at 1100 A. Each file contains the results of the model runs for a range of albedo (0.1 - 0.9) at a single value of g. The models and the data are described in https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#abs/2016arXiv160100430M/abstract.</p> <p>Added required dust files and program source code.</p>
