Digging the Cosmic Infrared Background out of the lobes of a radio galaxy

Abstract:: We describe a new, independent method for breaking the deadlock of measuring the cosmologically very important Cosmic Infrared Background. Our method measures the energy density of the Cosmic Infrared Background at the location of radio galaxies by using Fermi Gamma-ray and multiwavelength observations of their radio lobes. We present an application of our method for the well-studied radio galaxy Fornax A, showing that Fermi observations will provide us with a direct, model independent measurement of the Cosmic Infrared Background. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
