| Abstract: | We consider the infrared brightness of a flattened comet belt beyond the orbit of Neptune using a disk-like model with a power-law density distribution of comets. We compare this spectrum with the emission from a model zodiacal dust cloud in the ecliptic and with published IRAS data and present some consequences of dust in the comet belt. |
