GALEX has observed the sky in UV photometric bands. The background map extracted from GALEX has been studied in a larger context, being dust scattered radiation. Here, we look at a few fields to determine correlation of diffuse background in GALEX: FUV (1539A) and NUV (2316A) bands with other diffuse maps: IR (IRIS – 60/100 um), H-alpha (WHAM) and soft X-rays (ROSAT – R2 and R5 bands) maps; which trace ISM at different temperatures along with galactic components: dust extinction E(B-V) and neutral hydrogen column density N(H I). |
