河外背景光的一个下限通量

A Lower-Limit Flux for the Extragalactic Background Light

Tanja M. Kneiske, Herve Dole

摘要:

...一个严格的下限流量的演变河外背景光(特别是宇宙红外背景)已经计算到红移5。计算的通量低于现有的上限,从直接观测,并与现有的限制来自甚高能量的伽马射线观测。修正后的光谱仍然与简单的理论预测一致。导出的严格下限EBL通量非常接近γ射线观测的上限。这对于现在的EBL是正确的,但对于在更高红移的扩散通量也是正确的。如果未来探测高红移伽玛射线源需要比这里推导出的更低的EBL通量,则用于推导上限的物理假设必须修改。下限EBL模型不仅对活动星系核和其他γ射线源的吸收特征是必需的,而且在测试替代粒子过程时也是必不可少的,这可以防止高能γ射线被吸收。它也可以用于宇宙射线粒子的相互作用。该模型可在线获得。

英文摘要:

... A strict lower-limit flux for the evolving extragalactic background light (and in particular the cosmic infrared background) has been calculated up to redshift of 5. The computed flux is below the existing upper limits from direct observations, and in agreement with all existing limits derived from very-high energy gamma-ray observations. The corrected spectra are still in agreement with simple theoretical predictions. The derived strict lower-limit EBL flux is very close to the upper limits from gamma-ray observations. This is true for the present day EBL but also for the diffuse flux at higher redshift. If future detections of high redshift gamma-ray sources require a lower EBL flux than derived here, the physics assumptions used to derive the upper limits have to be revised. The lower-limit EBL model is not only needed for absorption features in AGN and other gamma-ray sources but is also essential when alternative particle processes are tested, which could prevent the high energy gamma-rays from being absorbed. It can also be used for a quaranteed interaction of cosmic-ray particles. The model is available online.
