Maps of scattered light in the SDSS wavelength bands (u, g, r, i, and z) for two realizations with different Mach numbers: Ms = 1 (top panels) and Ms = 6 (bottom panels). The homogeneous optical depth in the g band is assumed to be ﹩{\tau }_{g}^{{\rm{h}}}=1.0﹩ in both cases. The maps are based on two typical random realizations of a lognormal density structure. The numbers (#3 and #7) in parentheses indicate the sample indices among the 10 random realizations of the density distribution. Scattered-light intensities are normalized by the incident ISRF intensity, i.e., Iscatt/IISRF. The effective optical depth ﹩{\tau }_{\lambda }^{{\rm{eff}}}﹩, defined in Equation (4), and the standard deviation σλ of scattered light (for λ = u, g, r, i, and z) are indicated in each map.
