Abstract

The angular power spectra of the infrared maps obtained by the DIRBE (Diffuse InfraRed Background Experiment) instrument on the COBE satellite have been obtained by two methods: the Hauser-Peebles method previously applied to the DMR maps, and by Fourier transforming portions of the all-sky maps projected onto a plane. The two methods give consistent results, and the power spectrum of the high-latitude dust emission is C -3 in the range 2 < < 300.
