“The Assembly of Star-Forming Galaxies: Evolution of the Main Sequence and Dust Obscuration out to z ∼ 6″

Streszczenie:
Over the history of the Universe, galaxies have undergone profound transformations, with periods of intense star formation often hidden behind vast clouds of cosmic dust. Understanding the complete picture of this star formation rate density across cosmic time remains one of the fundamental challenges in observational astronomy. By combining deep field observations with far-infrared and submillimeter data, we can trace the properties of hundreds of thousands of galaxies out to redshift z ∼ 6. However, this hidden history reveals unexpected complexities: the star-forming main sequence evolves, dust temperatures rise dramatically in the early universe, and the laws governing dust attenuation shift as galaxies grow in stellar mass. What drives these evolutionary trends? How do the changing luminosity functions and the relationship between infrared excess and ultraviolet light ($IRX$- -β) reflect the growth, gas accretion, and eventual quenching of massive systems? This talk will explore these questions by presenting new determinations of the star-forming main sequence and the evolving far-infrared luminosity function. We will discuss approaches to calibrating mass-dependent dust attenuation and present new insights into the dust-obscured history of cosmic star formation.
