The model of zodiacal light used is assumed to follow a slightly cooler-than-solar spectrum (reddened) and is based on table 17 in Leinert et al. (1998), A&AS, 127, 1. At certain times of the year, the flux from the zodiacal light in the NUV may be large enough to pose a threat to the detector safety and prevent an observation from being scheduled by the mission planning system. The approximate value of this limit is known as the 'Zodiacal Light Flux Limit' and it is superimposed on the plot as a dashed line.
