Contour plots of the FUV (black contours) and NUV (red contours) at the NGP (top) and SGP (bottom) where the IR bin size is 0.1 MJy sr−1 and the UV bin size is 5 photon units. We have shown the mean surface brightness in the UV averaged over bins of 0.025 MJy sr−1 in the IR. The error bars shown are representative of the standard deviation in the mean and are of the order of about 50 photon units for the NGP and 70 photon units for the SGP.
