Surface brightness distribution of the local zodiacal dust cloud for wavelengths of 5 µm, 10 µm, and 20 µm (from top to bottom). The flux is given in MJy sr⁻¹ to allow for a comparison with the DARWIN-SIM technical report (Den Hartog & Karlsson 2005) and other models for the local zodiacal dust, e.g., the one used for sensitivity predictions for the MIRI instrument on board the JWST (Glasse et al. 2015). We note the different color scale for each wavelength.
