| 内容記述 | Space based photometric determinations of the extragalactic background light (EBL) are compared with galaxy count determinations of EBL brightness. The results of various EBL studies at blue and visual wavelengths are summarized, and an upper limit of 3.9 S-sub-10 (V)-sub-G2V at the 2 sigma level is placed on the brightness of the extragalactic background at 4400 A. EBL data in regions near the north and south galactic poles are also presented, the first such data obtained from heliocentric distances where the zodiacal light is negligible. Several paradigms consistent with the inferred EBL limits are mentioned, including less galactic evolution or masking of galactic evolution, galaxy formation at very high redshifts, and dusty primeval galaxies decreasing optical EBL and increasing infrared EBL. Models promulgating all primeval galaxies as high-luminosity objects undergoing bursts of star formation are incompatible with the EBL observations. |
