Far infrared extragalactic background radiation: I. Source counts with ISOPHOT
As a part of the ISOPHOT CIRB (Cosmic Infrared Background Radiation) project we have searched for point-like sources in eight fields mapped at two or three wavelengths between 90μm and 180μm. Most of the 55 sources detected are suspected to be extragalactic and cannot be associated with previously known objects. It is probable, also from the far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distributions, tha...
متن کاملAn Empirically Based Model for Predicting Infrared Luminosity Functions, Deep Infrared Galaxy Counts and the Diffuse Infrared Background
We predict luminosity functions and number counts for extragalactic infrared sources at various wavelengths using the framework of our empirically based model. Comparisons of our galaxy count results with existing data indicate that either galaxy luminosity evolution is not much stronger than Q = 3.1, where L ∝ (1+z), or that this evolution does not continue beyond a redshift of 2. However, a d...
متن کاملThe Far Infrared and Submillimeter Diffuse Extragalactic
The cosmic infrared background (CIB) radiation was a long-sought fossil of energetic processes associated with structure formation and chemical evolution since the Big Bang. The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) and Far Infrared Absolute Spectropho-tometer (FIRAS) were specifically designed to search for this background from 1.25 µm to millimeter wavelengths. These two instrum...
متن کاملCorrelations in the Far Infrared Background
We compute the expected angular power spectrum of the cosmic Far Infrared Background (FIRB). We find that the signal due to source correlations dominates the shot–noise for l <∼ 1000 and results in anisotropies with rms amplitudes ( √ l(l+ 1)Cl/2π) between 5% and 10% of the mean for l >∼ 150. The angular power spectrum depends on several unknown quantities, such as the UV flux density evolution...
متن کاملLow-background Far-infrared Telescope for Balloon-borne Infrared Astronomy
The design and performance of a new type of far-infrared telescope is discussed. The instrument is only 20cm in diameter, but its performance exceeds that of other telescopes at lOOp. The performance of far-infrared telescopes is limited not only by size but also by design and environment. The 30cm infrared telescope flown in the Nasa-Ames Lear Jet (Aumann, Low and Gillespie 1970) was limited b...
