Detection of the cosmic gamma ray horizon: Measures all the light in the universe since the Big Bang : "That bath of ancient and young photons suffusing the universe today is called the extragalactic background light (EBL). An accurate measurement of the EBL is as fundamental to cosmology as measuring the heat radiation left over from the Big Bang (the cosmic microwave background) at radio wavelengths. A new paper, called "Detection of the Cosmic γ-Ray Horizon from Multiwavelength Observations of Blazars," by Alberto Dominguez and six coauthors, just published today by the Astrophysical Journal—based on observations spanning wavelengths from radio waves to very energetic gamma rays, obtained from several NASA spacecraft and several ground-based telescopes—describes the best measurement yet of the evolution of the EBL over the past 5 billion years." ...

Measuring All Light Since Big Bang May Provide Answers To Evolution Of Universe

Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com – Your universe Online Researchers wrote in The Astrophysical Journal that they have made the best measurement of all the light in the universe since the Big Bang yet. Measuring the number and energy of each particle of light or photon since the Big Bang could provide secrets about the nature and evolution of the universe, such as how similar or different ancient galaxies were compared to the galaxies today. The researchers made the most accurate measurement of the extragalactic background light ( EBL ) by using observations spanning wavelengths from radio waves to very energetic gamma rays . Directly measuring the EBL by collecting its photons with a telescope poses towering technical challenges. Earth sits in a very bright Solar System , which almost acts like light pollution when trying to make reliable EBL measurements. Astrophysicists had to measure the EBL through measuring the attenuation of very high energy gamma rays from distant blazars , which are supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies with brilliant jets pointed towards Earth. Not all the high-energy gamma rays emitted by a blazar make it all the way across billions of light-years to Earth, because some of it strikes an EBL photon along the way. When this happens, both are annihilated and produce two different particles: an electron and a positron. Measuring how much gamma rays of different energies are attenuated or weakened ...
