LightCube: A Parsec-Resolution 3D Model of the Local Far-Ultraviolet Interstellar Radiation Field

We present a three-dimensional model of the local interstellar radiation field (ISRF) in the ultraviolet (UV).

We present a three-dimensional model of the local interstellar radiation field (ISRF) in the ultraviolet (UV). Using UV flux measurements from the TD1 catalog and stellar distances from Gaia and Hipparcos, we construct a catalog of stars that we expect to dominate the UV flux in…
