Optical-IR background
My favorite plot of space (zodiacal) background opt-NIR is the one by Michael Lampton (though I think aldering's analysis below is better:
I believe you can take as definitive Greg Aldering's analysis of space background for SNAP aldering01_space_zodi.pdf DO NOT USE without attribution!!! (called the “white paper” elsewhere, probably a section of, or a study for the white paper; the original file was just called zodi.ps).
It is important to understand that the zodi varies depending on angle between sun and pointing. I *think* in the optical it doesn't vary so much, but don't quote me on that. </ul> </ul>
Lya Forest Spectroscopy
Of interest because high-z grb may provide very bright light sources for very high-z Lyman Alpha Forests.
Some papers to check out some day:
