Abstract
Values of the temperature, of the global emissivity, and (by comparison with zodiacal light optical observations) of the albedo of interplanetary dust are retrieved from IRAS data (Hauser et al., 1984) in two localized regions of the line-of-sight, near 0.98 and 1.40 a.u. heliocentric distance. The model-dependence is reduced, compared to the values averaged on the line-of-sight. The temperature probably does not exceed 250 K at the distance of the Earth. The albedo is found to decrease from ~ 0.08 at the distance of the Earth to ~ 0.06 at the distance of Mars.
