We have compared the model generated ISRF with the previous models and the observations of the TD-1 satellite. We found that B type stars contribute mostly to the total ISRF and constitute $\sim$7\% of the total number of stars in our model at distances between 0 pc and 500 pc. Stars farther away than 500 pc from the Sun contribute very less to the total ISRF as a result of attenuation by dust. |
