Semi-analytic modelling of the extragalactic background light and consequences for extragalactic gamma-ray spectra
Semi-analytic modelling of the extragalactic background light and consequences for extragalactic gamma-ray spectra
Attenuation of high-energy gamma rays by pair-production with UV, optical and IR extragalactic background light (EBL) photons provides a link between the history of galaxy formation and high-energy astrophysics. We present results from our latest semi-analytic models (SAMs), which employ the main ingredients thought to be important to galaxy formation …
