What Does EBL Stand For?
EBL stands for Extragalactic Background Light
EBL, or Extragalactic Background Light, refers to the diffuse electromagnetic radiation permeating the universe, primarily resulting from the collective light emitted by all galaxies over cosmic time. It spans a wide range of wavelengths, including ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light, and serves as a crucial component in understanding the universe's structure and evolution. The study of EBL aids astronomers in investigating the formation of galaxies, cosmic star formation rates, and the intergalactic medium, providing insights into the overall energy budget of the cosmos.
