The DIRBE Weekly Sky Maps provide weekly-averaged intensity values for each 0.3 deg x 0.3 deg pixel and photometric band (1.25, 2.2, 3.5, 4.9, 12, 25, 60, 100, 140, and 240 microns), plus Stokes Q and U parameters at 1.25, 2.2, and 3.5 microns. Each map covers approximately half of the sky. As a set, the 41 Weekly Sky Maps offer an unprecedented view of the interplanetary dust (IPD) cloud as each celestial direction was observed by DIRBE at a variety of angles through the IPD. The DIRBE Weekly Sky Maps are available on CD-ROMs. Each map is packaged in a FITS binary table file. The time period covered ranges from 1989 December 11 to 1990 September 21.
