SKYSURF. VI. The Impact of Thermal Variations of HST on Background Light Estimates

The SKYSURF project constrained extragalactic background light and diffuse light (DL) with the vast archive of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. Thermal emission from HST itself introduces an additional uncertain background and hinders accurate measurement of the DL level. Here, we use archival W...
