CIBER: Sounding rocket experiment to observe the near-infrtared background

Toshio Matsumoto (ASIAA) and CIBER team

CIBER (Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment) is a sounding rocket experiment which is in progress under the collaboration among Japan, USA, Korea and Taiwan. CIBER was designed to observe the spectrum and fluctuation of near-infrared background, particularly, near-infrared extra-galactic light which may trace the light of the first stars. I will show the current status of CIBER and the next step mission CIBER2.
