This paper addresses the nature of the near infrared background. Weinvestigate whether there is an excess background at 1.4 microns, what is thesource of the near infrared background and whether that background after thesubtraction of all known sources contains the signature of high redshiftobjects (Z > 10). Based on NICMOS observations in the Hubble Ultra Deep Fieldand the Northern Hubble Deep Field we find that there is no excess in thebackground at 1.4 microns and that the claimed excess is due to inaccuratemodels of the zodiacal background. We find that the near infrared background isnow spatially resolved and is dominated by galaxies in the redshift rangebetween 0.5 and 1.5. We find no signature than can be attributed to highredshift sources after subtraction of all known sources either in the residualbackground or in the fluctuations of the residual background. We show that thecolor of the fluctuations from both NICMOS and Spitzer observations areconsistent with low redshift objects and inconsistent with objects at redshiftsgreater than 10. It is most likely that the residual fluctuation power aftersource subtraction is due to the outer regions of low redshift galaxies thatare below the source detection limit and therefore not removed during thesource subtraction.
