Abstract The zodiacal light is a nightglow mostly visible along the plane of the ecliptic. It represents the background radiation associated with solar light scattered by the tenuous flattened interplanetary cloud of dust particles surrounding the Sun and the planets. It is an interesting subject of study, as the source of the micrometeoroids falling on Earth, as a link to the activity of the small bodies of the Solar System, but also as a foreground that veils the low brightness extrasolar astronomical light sources. In this review, we summarize the zodiacal light observations that have been done from the ground and from space in brightness and polarization at various wavelength ranges. Local properties of the interplanetary dust particles in some given locations can be retrieved from the inversion of the zodiacal light integrated along the light-of-sight. We show that the current community consensus favors that the majority of the interplanetary dust particles detected at 1 au originate from the activity of comets. Our current understanding of the interplanetary dust particles properties is then discussed in the context of the recent results from the Rosetta rendezvous space mission with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

黄道光观测及其与宇宙尘埃的联系:综述

摘要 黄道光是一种在黄道平面上最常见的夜光。它代表了与太阳光相关的背景辐射,这些太阳光被太阳和行星周围的细小扁平星际尘埃云散射。它是一个有趣的研究课题,作为落在地球上的微流星体的来源,作为与太阳系小天体活动的联系,但也作为掩盖低亮度太阳系外天文光源的前景。在这篇综述中,我们总结了从地面和空间在不同波长范围内进行的亮度和偏振的黄道光观测。某些给定位置的行星际尘埃粒子的局部特性可以从沿视线整合的黄道光的反转中恢复。我们表明,目前的社区共识支持在 1 au 处检测到的大多数行星际尘埃颗粒来自彗星的活动。我们目前对行星际尘埃粒子特性的理解将在罗塞塔与 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko 彗星交会太空任务的最新结果的背景下进行讨论。
