摘要

Following our previously proposed technique, we have used the recent gamma-ray observations of Mkr421 to place theoretically significant constraints on the magnitude of the intergalactic infrared radiation field (IIRF). Our 2 sigma upper limits are consistent with normal IR production by stars and dust in galaxies. They rule out exotic mechanisms proposed to produce a larger IIRF. Although they are still subject to revision and are unconfirmed, the data on the spectrum of Mkr421 hint at a possible absorption cutoff which could be produced by an IIRF of the magnitude expected from stellar emission and reprocessing in galaxies. Using models for the low energy intergalactic photon spectrum from microwave to ultraviolet energies, we calculate the opacity of intergalactic space to gamma-rays as a function of energy and redshift. These calculations indicate that the GeV gamma-ray burst recently observed by the CGRO EGRET detector originates at a redshift less than similar to 1.5. [References: 50]
