摘要:

高能伽马射线与紫外线、可见光和红外线背景光子成对产生的衰减提供了星系形成历史与高能天体物理学之间的联系。我们目前的结果,从我们最新的半解析模型(SAM),基于$Λ$ CDM层次结构形成的情况下,并采用所有成分被认为是重要的星系形成和演化,以及再加工的星光尘埃中,远红外波长。我们的模型还使用了最近的流体动力学星系合并模拟的结果。这些最新的SAM是成功地再现了各种各样的观测约束,如数量计数,光度和质量函数,和颜色双峰。我们已经创建了两个模型,包括星系发射率的可能范围,对于每个模型,我们展示了如何从对产生的光学深度受红移和伽马射线能量的影响。最后,我们讨论了我们工作的意义,以及新兴的伽马射线天文学将如何继续帮助约束宇宙学。

英文摘要:

Attenuation of high--energy gamma rays by pair--production with UV, optical and IR background photons provides a link between the history of galaxy formation and high--energy astrophysics. We present results from our latest semi-analytic models (SAMs), based upon a $Λ$CDM hierarchical structural formation scenario and employing all ingredients thought to be important to galaxy formation and evolution, as well as reprocessing of starlight by dust to mid- and far-IR wavelengths. Our models also use results from recent hydrodynamic galaxy merger simulations. These latest SAMs are successful in reproducing a large variety of observational constraints such as number counts, luminosity and mass functions, and color bimodality. We have created 2 models that bracket the likely ranges of galaxy emissivities, and for each of these we show how the optical depth from pair--production is affected by redshift and gamma-ray energy. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our work, and how the burgeoning science of gamma-ray astronomy will continue to help constrain cosmology.
