Origin of the high energy extragalactic diffuse gamma ray background.
We show that cosmic rays in external galaxies, groups and clusters rich in gas, with an average flux similar to that observed in the Milky Way, could have produced the observed extragalactic diffuse gamma radiation.

متن کاملThe Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
The COMPTEL and EGRET detectors aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory measured an extragalactic γ-ray background (EGRB) extending from ∼ 1 MeV to ∼ 100 GeV. Calculations performed making reasonable assumptions indicate that blazars can account for the background between ∼ 10 MeV and ∼ 10 GeV. Below 30 MeV, the background flux and spectrum are not very well determined and a dedicated satellit...
متن کاملGLAST and the Extragalactic Gamma Ray Background
We show that GLAST should be able to support or rule out the unresolved-blazar hypothesis for the origin of the diffuse, extragalactic gamma ray background.
متن کاملUpper Limits on the Extragalactic Background Light from the Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Spectra of Blazars
The direct measurement of the extragalactic background light (EBL) is difficult at optical to infrared wavelengths because of the strong foreground radiation originating in the Solar System. Very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma rays interact with EBL photons of these wavelengths through pair production. In this work, the available VHE spectra from six blazars are used to place upper limits o...
متن کاملImaging Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Telescopes
The technique of γ-ray astronomy at very high energies (VHE:> 100 GeV) with ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is described, the H.E.S.S. array in Namibia serving as example. Mainly a discussion of the physical principles of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique is given, emphasizing its rapid development during the last decade. The present status is illustrated by two examples...
