Excess Ultraviolet Emission at High Galactic Latitudes: A New Horizons View

Excess Ultraviolet Emission at High Galactic Latitudes: A New Horizons View

We present new observations of the cosmic ultraviolet background (CUVB) at high Galactic latitudes (∣ b ∣ > 40 ^∘ ), made using the Alice UV spectrograph on board the New Horizons spacecraft. These observations were taken at about 57 au from the Sun, outside much of the foreground emission affect...
