The star-formation history of the universe: an infrared perspective
Michael Rowan-Robinson (ICSTM)
Models for the source counts and background radiation at 15-850
microns, which incorporate the latest ISO and SCUBA data on galaxy
spectral-energy distributions, are used to characterize the
star-formation history out to high redshift. Direct estimates of the
star-formation history at radio and infrared wavelengths, and at
optical-UV wavelengths with correction for dust extinction, support
the models required to fit the counts and background. There is an
interesting dependence on cosmological model.
