Session 13 - Large Scale Structure & Cosmology.
Display session, Monday, January 13
Metropolitan Ballroom,
We present the first results of a coordinated, Las Campanas / HST program to measure the extragalactic background light in passbands defined by the WFPC2 F300W, F550W, and F814W filters (3000-8000 ÅThis detection is the first successful measurement of the optical background light and constrains cosmological models as well as models of galaxy formation and evolution.
