Probing galaxy formation with high energy gamma-rays
- Abstract:
-
We discuss how measurements of the absorption of $\gamma$-rays from GeV to TeV energies via pair production on the extragalactic background light (EBL) can probe important issues in galaxy formation. We use semi-analytic models (SAMs) of galaxy formation, set within the hierarchical structure formation scenario, to obtain predictions of the EBL for 0.1-1000$\mu$m. SAMs incorporate simplified physical treatments of the key processes of galaxy formation --- including gravitational collapse and...
