“…In our view, all Macroobjects (MOs) of the World (galaxies, extrasolar systems, planets, and moons) possess the following properties [8]:  Macroobject nuclei are made up of self-annihilating DMFs;  MOs contain other particles, including DM and baryonic matter, in shells surrounding their nuclei. WUM predicts existence of 5 types of self-annihilating DMPs with masses of 1.3 TeV, 9.6 GeV, 70 MeV, 340 keV, and 3.7 keV (see Section 4.1). The signs of annihilation of these particles are found in the observed gamma-ray spectra which we connect with the structure of MOs (nuclei and shells composition).…”

Hypersphere World-Universe Model (WUM) envisions Matter carried from Universe into World from fourth spatial dimension by Dark Matter Particles (DMPs). Luminous Matter is byproduct of Dark Matter (DM) annihilation. WUM introduces Dark Epoch (spanning from Beginning of World for 0.4 billion years) when only DMPs existed, and Luminous Epoch (ever since for 13.8 billion years). Big Bang discussed in standard cosmological model is, in our view, transition from Dark Epoch to Luminous Epoch due to Rotational Fission of Overspinning DM Supercluster's Cores and annihilation of DMPs.WUM solves a number of physical problems in contemporary Cosmology and Astrophysics through DMPs and their interactions: Angular Momentum problem in birth and subsequent evolution of Galaxies and Extrasolar systems-how do they obtain it; Fermi Bubbles-two large structures in gamma-rays and X-rays above and below Galactic center; Mysterious Star KIC 8462852 with irregular dimmings; Coronal Heating problem in solar physics-temperature of Sun's corona exceeding that of photosphere by millions of degrees; Cores of Sun and Earth rotating faster than their surfaces; Diversity of Gravitationally-Rounded Objects in Solar system and their Internal Heat; Lightning Initiation problem-electric fields observed inside thunderstorms are not sufficient to initiate sparks; Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes-bursts of high energy X-rays and gamma rays emanating from Earth. Model makes predictions pertaining to Masses of DMPs, proposes New Types of their Interactions. WUM reveals Inter-Connectivity of Primary Cosmological Parameters and calculates their values, which are in good agreement with the latest results of their measurements.

“…This discussion presumes a correction for zodiacal foreground based on DIRBE. Although SIRTF will not be able to match DIRBE's systematic study of the zodiacal light, there may be ways of using SIRTF to correct for the zodiacal contribution to its own measurements, following the approach outlined by Wright, Werner, & Rieke (1995).…”

Abstract. IRAS, COBE, and ISO have demonstrated the unique importance of a cryogenic infrared telescope in space for studying diffuse infrared backgrounds and for teasing out the individual point sources which contribute to them. This importance results from the extremely high infrared sensitivity of such telescopes, particularly to diffuse radiation. The next cryogenic infrared telescope will be NASA's Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), which is currently in the final stages of construction leading to launch in 2002. SIRTF will be the first infrared space observatory to make extensive use -both for imaging and spectroscopyof large format infrared detector arrays. The sensitivity and spatial and spectral coverage of SIRTF's array-based instruments endow SIRTF with great power for the study of the cosmic infrared background (CIRB) and related scientific issues. This paper reviews the SIRTF mission design and measurement functionality and describes SIRTF's potential studies of the CIRB, drawing examples from the programs planned by the SIRTF Guaranteed Time Observers (GTO's). We also summarize the opportunities for community participation in SIRTF.

We measure the smoothness of the infrared sky using the COBE DIRBE maps, and obtain interesting limits on the production of the diffuse cosmic infrared background (CIB) light by matter clustered like galaxies. The predicted fluctuations of the CIB with the DIRBE beam size of 0.7 • are of the order of 10%, and the maps are smooth at the level of δνI ν ∼ a few nWm −2 sr −1 rms from 2.2 to 100 µm. The lowest numbers are achieved at mid-to far-IR where the foreground is bright but smooth; they are C(0)≤(1 − 1.5) nWm −2 sr −1 at λ = 10-100 µm. If the CIB comes from clustered matter evolving according to typical scenarios, then the smoothness of the maps implies CIB levels less than ∼ (10 − 15) nWm −2 sr −1 over this wavelength range.
