宇宙EBL和Gamma-ray不透明度的经验测定

An Empirical Determination of the EBL and the Gamma-ray Opacity of the Universe

Floyd W. Stecker

摘要:

我提出了一种新的方法的星系际背景光的强度和光子密度谱的红移的函数,使用观测数据在许多不同的波段从本地到深星系调查的结果。这使得EBL及其基于观测的不确定性的经验确定。利用这些结果,我们可以将宇宙对γ射线的不透明度的置信上限和下限设定为68%,而不需要过去计算所需的理论假设。我比较我们的结果与测量的河外背景光,上限从费米伽马射线太空望远镜的观测,并从费米和H.E.S.S.利用最近对耀变体光谱的分析。

英文摘要:

I present the results of a new approach to the intensity and photon density spectrum of the intergalactic background light as a function of redshift using observational data obtained in many different wavelength bands from local to deep galaxy surveys. This enables an empirical determination of both the EBL and its observationally based uncertainties. Using these results one can place 68% confidence upper and lower limits on the opacity of the universe to γ-rays, free of the theoretical assumptions that were needed for past calculations. I compare our results with measurements of the extragalactic background light, upper limits obtained from observations made by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, and new observationally based results from Fermi and H.E.S.S. using recent analyses of blazar spectra.
