Near-infrared Polarization Charateristics of the Zodiacal Light Observed with DIRBE/COBE

We report near-infrared polarization of the zodiacal light (ZL) measured from space by the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on board the Cosmic Background Explorer in photometric bands centered at 1.25, 2.2, and 3.5 μ m. To constrain the physical properties of interplanetary dust, we u...
