CIBER
(Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment, CIBER-1)
(sounding-rocket survey of near-infrared background)
CIBER (for Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment, aka CIBER-1) is a
near-infrared intensity mapping program carried out with
sounding rockets, to characterize the near-infrared extragalactic background light (EBL),
part of the cosmic infrared background (CIB). A spectrograph recorded
the Lyman cutoff within the 10 < z < 20 range,
and second spectrograph recorded zodiacal light (in the form
of Fraunhofer lines) so the EBL could be distinguished.
Four flights took place between 2009 and 2014. CIBER-2 is an
improved version that flew in 2021. A 2023 second CIBER-2
launch was unsuccessful in collecting data, and a third launch is
scheduled for May 2024.
