摘要
We investigate the axion-like particle (ALP)-photon oscillation effect in the high-energy gamma-ray spectra of PG 1553+113 and PKS 2155-304 measured by Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. The choice of extragalactic background light (EBL) model, which induces the attenuation effect in observed gamma-ray spectra, affects the ALP implications. For the ordinary EBL model that prefers a null hypothesis, we set constraints on the ALP-photon coupling constant at 95% C.L. as g(a gamma) less than or similar to 5 x 10(-11) GeV-1 for the ALP mass similar to 10 neV. We also consider the CIBER observation of the cosmic infrared radiation, which shows an excess at wavelengths of similar to 1 mu m after the substraction of foregrounds. High-energy gamma-rays from extragalactic sources at high redshifts would suffer from a more significant attenuation effect caused by this excess. In this case, we find that the ALP-photon oscillation would improve the fit to the observed spectra of PKS 2155-304 and PG 1553+113 and find a favored parameter region at 95% C.L.
