10 Jun 1997 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | IAP), F.R. Bouchet (IAP), J.L. Puget (IAS), G. Lagache (IAS) & E. Hivon (TAC | Abstract: | In this letter, we estimate how much starlight was absorbed by dust and released in the infrared during the formation of galaxies. New constraints are set on this so-far hidden history by the recent detection of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) built up from the accumulated light of faint sources (and revisited here). By means of a semi-analytical model of hierarchical galaxy formation, we estimate the population of dust-enshrouded starburst galaxies fitting the CIB. It is argued that a deep ISO survey at 175 micron could already detect these sources and help close the gap in our understanding of the history of light in the Universe. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9706095 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
