Most of the diffuse flux is due to dust-scattered starlight and follows a cosecant law with slopes of 545 photons cm-2 s-1 sr-1 {\\AA}-1 and 433 photons cm-2 s-1 sr-1 {\\AA}-1 in the FUV and NUV bands, respectively. There is a strong correlation with the 100 {\\mu}m IRAS flux with an average UV/IR ratio of 300 photons cm-2 s-1 sr-1 {\\AA}-1 (MJy sr-1)-1 in the FUV band and 220 photons cm-2 s-1 sr-1 {\\AA}-1 (M"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1009.4530","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
