Object-subtracted FUV counts (based on 1 arcmin pixels, median filtered in 3 × 3 pixels boxes) as a function of the ecliptic latitude. The numbers on the right axis indicate the surface brightness in units of AB magnitude per square arcsec. The colour bar indicates the decimal logarithm of the number of pixels per 2D bin. The red line shows the average. The grey line is the adopted background (Sect. 3.2). The magenta squares report predictions of the GALEX zodiacal light tool.
