| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) is known as cosmic optical and infrared background radiation and it is important to understand the origin. We analyzed multi-wavelength data from radio to GeV-TeV gamma-ray band for distant blazars and estimated the intensity of Extragalactic Background Light (EBL). Note that the observed GeV-TeV gamma-ray data are absorbed by annihilation with EBL photons, and hence to derive the intrinsic GeV-TeV spectrum, we need radio, optical, and X-ray data. Our result showed that the inferred EBL level is consistent with previously-obtained theoretical estimation, indicating that no significant contribution from other component such as dark matter is needed to explain the inferred EBL level.
