We present a full sky 100 micron map that is a reprocessed composite of the COBE/DIRBE and IRAS/ISSA maps, with the zodiacal foreground and confirmed point sources removed. Before using the ISSA maps, we remove the remaining artifacts from the IRAS scan pattern. Using the DIRBE 100 micron and 240 micron data, we have constructed a map of the dust temperature, so that the 100 micron map can be converted to a map proportional to dust column density. The result of these manipulations is a map with DIRBE-quality calibration and IRAS resolution. To generate the full sky dust maps, we must first remove zodiacal light contamination as well as a possible cosmic infrared background (CIB). This is done via a regression analysis of the 100 micron DIRBE map against the Leiden- Dwingeloo map of H_I emission, with corrections for the zodiacal light via a suitable expansion of the DIRBE 25 micron flux. For the 100 micron map, no significant CIB is detected. In the 140 micron and 240 micron maps, where the zodiacal contamination is weaker, we detect the CIB at surprisingly high flux levels of 32 \pm 13 nW/m^2/sr at 140 micron, and 17 \pm 4 nW/m^2/sr at 240 micron (95% confidence). This integrated flux is ~2 times that extrapolated from optical galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field. The primary use of these maps is likely to be as a new estimator of Galactic extinction. We demonstrate that the new maps are twice as accurate as the older Burstein-Heiles estimates in regions of low and moderate reddening. These dust maps will also be useful for estimating millimeter emission that contaminates CMBR experiments and for estimating soft X-ray absorption.

Characterizing Stellar Streams with Error-Aware Machine Learning

astro-ph.GA · 2026-06-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

SCREAM adapts the CATHODE method to treat stellar streams as feature-space over-densities, incorporates measurement uncertainties into neural network training, and achieves F1=0.745 on GD-1 while recovering faint members and a diffuse cocoon missed by prior methods.

Blue Straggler Stars in Old Open Clusters and the Kraft Break

astro-ph.SR · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Blue straggler stars in old open clusters exhibit a Kraft break in rotation, with rapid rotators above the break and slow rotators below, indicating their envelopes behave like those of single stars.

SKYSURF-11: A New Zodiacal Light Model Optimized for Optical Wavelengths

astro-ph.CO · 2025-10-21 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A revised zodiacal light model (ZodiSURF) adds wavelength-dependent analytical scattering phase function and albedo fitted to over 5,000 HST optical measurements, yielding ~4.5% uncertainty and revealing a 0.013 +/- 0.006 MJy/sr residual excess possibly from a dim spherical dust cloud.

MUSE Imaging Spectroscopy of the Fullerene Planetary Nebula Tc 1

astro-ph.SR · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

MUSE observations of Tc 1 map structured extinction, Te, and Ne, revealing a low-extinction annulus outside the main fullerene zone that is interpreted as evidence for locally altered dust properties in the core-halo transition.

Consistency of DES and DESI distances and the Standard Cosmological Model

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

DESI recovers the CMB-constrained parameter combination at sub-percent precision; high-redshift DES supernovae fit flat Lambda CDM while a 0.05 mag offset in the low-redshift anchor sample may be systematic, supporting overall model consistency from recombination to the local universe.
