Studies of LSB Features with K-DRIFT: Galactic Cirrus Clouds and Extragalactic Objects

The low surface brightness (LSB) universe has been largely unexplored. The LSB structures are extremely difficult to image due to systematic errors of sky subtraction and scattered light in he atmosphere and in the telescope. Among the systematic errors of sky subtraction, the widespread presence of Galactic cirrus clouds is one of the major obstacles in studying the LSB features of extragalactic sources. Interstellar dust clouds are also fundamental to understand many issues in the Milky Way. Therefore, understanding the Galactic cirri is a crucial topic in the LSB studies. We present the ubiquitousness and current understanding of the Galactic cirri. We also discuss what is necessary to study the LSB features with K-DRIFT and what we can learn from the K-DRIFT observations.
