Abstract

The observed spectrum of the Extragalactic Background Light in the range from ultraviolet to optical wavelengths is compared with a model prediction. The uses the locally observed luminosity function of galaxies as well as evolutionary models for galaxy spectra energy distributions. The prediction is too faint by a factor of about 10.
