COMMENT   This file contains the spatial dust template used in the 3-year and   
COMMENT   5-year WMAP template foreground fitting and removal process.          
COMMENT   The dust template was generated by smoothing the 94 GHz all-sky       
COMMENT   2-component model (model 8) prediction of Finkbeiner, Davis and       
COMMENT   Schlegel (1999) with a Gaussian kernel to a FWHM of 1 degree.         
COMMENT   This file is distributed and maintained by LAMBDA.  An unsmoothed     
COMMENT   version of the 94 GHz dust model map is also available from LAMBDA.
