The Universe

It has been proposed (e.g. Carr, Bond and Arnett 1984) that the first generation of stars may have been Very Massive Objects (VMOs, of mass above 200 M⊙) which existed at large redshifts and left a large fraction of the mass of the universe in black hole remnants which now provide the dynamical ‘dark matter’. The radiation from these stars would be present today as extragalactic background light. For stars with density parameter Ω* which convert a fraction ϵ of their rest-mass to radiation at a redshift of z, the energy density of background radiation in units of the critical density is ΩR = εΩ* / (1+z). The VMOs would be far-ultraviolet sources with effective temperatures of 105 K. If the radiation is not absorbed, the constraints provided by measurements of background radiation imply (for H =50 km/s/Mpc) that the stars cannot close the universe unless they formed at a redshift of 40 or more. To provide the dark matter (of one-tenth closure density) the optical limits imply that they must have existed at redshifts above 25.

Abstract Extra-galactic gamma-ray sources, such as gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei, starburst galaxies, are interesting and important targets for LHAASO observations. In this chapter, the prospects of detecting these sources with LHAASO and their physical implications are studied. The upgrade plan for the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), which aims to enhance the detectability of relatively lower energy photons, is also presented. In addition, a study on constraining the extragalactic background light with LHAASO observation of blazars is presented.

Models of the zodiacal light are necessary to convert measured data taken from low Earth orbit into the radiation field outside the Solar System. The uncertainty in these models dominates the overall uncertainty in determining the extragalactic background light for wavelengths λ < 100 μm.
