Abstract |
The interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) spread in the Solar System form a complex of clouds whose thermal emission is known as Zodiacal Light Emission (ZLE) or Zody which mainly contaminates FarIR observations at low ecliptical latitudes, and which has been advocated in the past as a possible source of unremoved contamination which may affect CMB surveys contributing to the well known peculiarities in the large scale CMB anisotropies. In this talk we summarizes the current knowledge on Zody, in order to characterize the possible level of contamination in cosmological surveys, to discuss the possibility of obtaining a proper detection, modelization and removal of this contaminant, as well as the kind of solar system science which would be possible to infer from a positive detection of Zody at frequencies below 1 THz. |
