摘要:

来自宇宙辐射源的高能光子由于与河外背景光(EBL)的对产生相互作用而衰减。任何高能宇宙粒子群的集体发射都将在最高能量处表现出吸收特征。我们计算这种吸收功能的耀变体的集体发射的耀变体的伽马射线光度函数(GLF)和EBL的各种模型。我们发现,模型的耀变体GLF预测较高的相对贡献的高红移耀变体的耀变体集体光谱的结果在发射,是更容易受到衰减的EBL,因此导致更突出的吸收功能,允许更好地区分EBL模型。因此,我们表明,这样的吸收功能的意见将包含有关的耀变体GLF和EBL的信息,我们讨论的EBL模型和耀变体GLF的测试,将成为可能与即将到来的费米观测。

英文摘要:

High-energy photons from cosmological emitters suffer attenuation due to pair production interactions with the extragalactic background light (EBL). The collective emission of any high-energy emitting cosmological population will exhibit an absorption feature at the highest energies. We calculate this absorption feature in the collective emission of blazars for various models of the blazar gamma-ray luminosity function (GLF) and the EBL. We find that models of the blazar GLF that predict higher relative contributions of high-redshift blazars to the blazar collective spectrum result in emission that is more susceptible to attenuation by the EBL, and hence result in more prominent absorption features, allowing for better differentiation amongst EBL models. We thus demonstrate that observations of such an absorption feature will contain information regarding both the blazar GLF and the EBL, and we discuss tests for EBL models and the blazar GLF that will become possible with upcoming Fermi observations.
