Interpreting the cosmic far-infrared background anisotropies using a gas regulator model
Cosmic far-infrared background (CFIRB) is a powerful probe of the history of star formation rate and the connection between baryons and dark matter. In this work, we explore to which extent the CFIRB anisotropies can be reproduced by a simple physical framework for galaxy evolution, the gas regulator (bathtub) model. The model is based on continuity equations for gas, stars, and metals, taking ...
متن کاملThe ultraviolet extragalactic background light : dust extinction and the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate from z = 0 to ∼ 0 . 6
We show that the accumulated light of galaxies in the ultraviolet can be evaluated from their luminosity density as a function of the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate and dust extinction properties. Constraints on the evolution rate are expected in future. Data available at the moment are consistent with an evolution rate at low z steeper than (1 + z). A shallower rate remains possib...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Luminous Matter in the Universe
I review a technique for interpreting faint galaxy data which traces the evolution with cosmic time of the galaxy luminosity density, as determined from several deep spectroscopic samples and the Hubble Deep Field imaging survey. The method relies on the rest-frame UV and near-IR continua of galaxies as indicators, for a given initial mass function (IMF) and dust content, of their instantaneous...
متن کاملInsights into Galaxy Evolution from Mid-infrared Wavelengths
In this paper, I have attempted to highlight key results from deep extragalactic surveys at mid-infrared wavelengths. I discuss advances in our understanding of dust enshrouded star-formation and AGN activity at 0 < z < 3 from IRAS, ISO and Spitzer. The data seem to indicate that about 70% of the co-moving star-formation rate density at 0.5 < z < 3 is obscured by dust and that AGN, including ob...
متن کاملThe Cobe Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment Search for the Cosmic Infrared Background. I. Limits and Detections
The Di†use Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) spacecraft was designed primarily to conduct a systematic search for an isotropic cosmic infrared background (CIB) in 10 photometric bands from 1.25 to 240 km. The results of that search are presented here. Conservative limits on the CIB are obtained from the minimum observed brightness in all-sky maps at...
