摘要:

(简要概述)自复合时代以来,宇宙的总辐射含量是多少?河外背景光(EBL)光谱捕获了宇宙历史上第一个恒星物体、原星系和星系释放的红移能量。然而,我们还没有确定河外天空从紫外/光学到远红外波长的亮度,其准确度足以确定宇宙的辐射含量超过一个数量级。在许多科学主题中,对从光学到远红外波长的EBL光谱的精确测量将解决:在宇宙历史上恒星核合成释放的总能量是多少?非恒星过程释放了大量能量吗?从光学到亚毫米的任何地方,EBL都有漫射成分吗?第一颗恒星是什么时候出现的?再电离时期的亮度如何?绝对光学到中红外EBL光谱的天体物理学上有趣的精度可以建立宽场成像在5AU的距离或以上的黄道平面,其中黄道前景减少了两个以上的数量级。

英文摘要:

(Brief Summary) What is the total radiative content of the Universe since the epoch of recombination? The extragalactic background light (EBL) spectrum captures the redshifted energy released from the first stellar objects, protogalaxies, and galaxies throughout cosmic history. Yet, we have not determined the brightness of the extragalactic sky from UV/optical to far-infrared wavelengths with sufficient accuracy to establish the radiative content of the Universe to better than an order of magnitude. Among many science topics, an accurate measurement of the EBL spectrum from optical to far-IR wavelengths, will address: What is the total energy released by stellar nucleosynthesis over cosmic history? Was significant energy released by non-stellar processes? Is there a diffuse component to the EBL anywhere from optical to sub-millimeter? When did first stars appear and how luminous was the reionization epoch? Absolute optical to mid-IR EBL spectrum to an astrophysically interesting accuracy can be established by wide field imagingat a distance of 5 AU or above the ecliptic plane where the zodiacal foreground is reduced by more than two orders of magnitude.
