TLDR
In this article, the IRAS data reveal bright emission from interplanetary dust which dominates the celestial background at 12, 25, and 60 microns except near the galactic plane.Abstract:
IRAS data reveal bright emission from interplanetary dust which dominates the celestial background at 12, 25, and 60 microns except near the galactic plane. At 100 microns, interplanetary dust emission is prominent only near the ecliptic plane; diffuse galactic emission is found over the rest of the sky. At the galactic poles, the observed brightness implies that A(v) is likely to be of order 0.1 mag. The angular variation of the zodiacal emission in the ecliptic plane and in the plane at elongation 90 deg, and an annual modulation of the ecliptic pole brightness, are generally consistent with previously determined interplanetary dust distributions.read more

THE COSMIC INFRARED BACKGROUND: Measurements and Implications ⁄
Michael G. Hauser,Eli Dwek +1 more
TL;DR: The cosmic infrared background records much of the radiant energy released by processes of structure formation that have occurred since the decoupling of matter and radiation following the Big Bang as discussed by the authors, with additional constraints coming from studies of the attenuation of TeV γ-rays.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a zodiacal cloud model based on the orbital properties and lifetimes of comets and asteroids, and on the dynamical evolution of dust after ejection.

The geometry of resonant signatures in debris disks with planets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the variety of resonant structures a single planet with moderate eccentricity can create in a dynamically cold, optically thin dust disk. And they compare the resonant geometries found in the solar system dust cloud with observations of dust clouds around Vega, Epsilon Eridani, and Fomalhaut.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a dynamical model for the solar system meteoroids and used it to explain meteor radar observations, and found that the Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs) are the main source of the prominent concentrations of meteors arriving to the Earth from the helion and antihelion directions.
