The Resolved NIR Extragalactic Background
  We present a current best estimate of the integrated near-infrared (NIR)
extragalactic background light (EBL) attributable to resolved galaxies in J, H,
and Ks . Our results for measurements of {\nu}I{\nu} in units of nW m-2 sr-1
are 11.7+5.6 -2.6 in J, 11.5+4 .5 -1.5 in H and 10.0+2 .8 -0.8 in Ks . We
derive these new limits by combining our deep wide-field NIR photometry from
five widely separated fields with other studies from the literature to create a
galaxy counts sample that is highly complete and has good counting statistics
out to J H Ks ~ 27 - 28. As part of this effort we present new ultradeep Ks
-band galaxy counts from 22 hours of observations with the Multi Object
Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) instrument on the Subaru Telescope.
We use this MOIRCS Ks -band mosaic to estimate the total missing flux from
sources beyond our detection limits. Our new lim- its to the NIR EBL are in
basic agreement with, but 10 - 20% higher than previous estimates, bringing
them into better agreement with estimates of the total NIR EBL (resolved +
unresolved sources) obtained from TeV {\gamma}-ray opacity measurements and
recent direct measurements of the total NIR EBL, as well as recent model
estimates for the total light from galaxies. We exam- ine field to field
variations in our photometry to show that the integrated light from galaxies is
isotropic to within uncertainties, consistent with the expected large-scale
isotropy of the EBL.
