Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies at High Redshift
read the original abstract
Far-infrared and submillimeter wavelength surveys have now established the important role of dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) in the assembly of stellar mass and the evolution of massive galaxies in the Universe. The brightest of these galaxies have infrared luminosities in excess of 10$^{13}$ L$_{\odot}$ with implied star-formation rates of thousands of solar masses per year. They represent the most intense starbursts in the Universe, yet many are completely optically obscured. Their easy detection at submm wavelengths is due to dust heated by ultraviolet radiation of newly forming stars. When summed up, all of the dusty, star-forming galaxies in the Universe produce an infrared radiation field that has an equal energy density as the direct starlight emission from all galaxies visible at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. The bulk of this infrared extragalactic background light emanates from galaxies as diverse as gas-rich disks to mergers of intense starbursting galaxies. Major advances in far-infrared instrumentation in recent years, both space-based and ground-based, has led to the detection of nearly a million DSFGs, yet our understanding of the underlying astrophysics that govern the start and end of the dusty starburst phase is still in nascent stage. This review is aimed at summarizing the current status of DSFG studies, focusing especially on the detailed characterization of the best-understood subset (submillimeter galaxies, who were summarized in the last review of this field over a decade ago, Blain et al., 2002), but also the selection and characterization of more recently discovered DSFG populations. We review DSFG population statistics, their physical properties including dust, gas and stellar contents, their environments, and current theoretical models related to the formation and evolution of these galaxies.

ALESS--JWST: Dust-driven Morphologies and Hidden Stellar Mass in $z\sim3$ Sub-millimeter Galaxies
Dust geometry in z~3 SMGs produces a systematic stellar mass underestimate in integrated fits and wavelength-dependent sizes and offsets, with compact stellar cores matching the dust continuum at longer wavelengths.

Tracing Radio AGN-Driven Quenching in Post-Starburst Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
Post-starburst galaxies at cosmic noon show very low radio detection rates and compact weak sources, consistent with short-lived low-luminosity AGN, while older quiescent galaxies exhibit stronger extended radio emission.

Galaxy luminosity functions from far-UV to submillimetre at $z=0$ in the COLIBRE simulations
COLIBRE simulations with SKIRT post-processing match observed galaxy luminosity functions from FUV to submm at z=0, except underpredicting bright mid-IR galaxies.

Chaotic Molecular Gas in Five Dusty Star-forming Galaxies in the Spiderweb Protocluster at $z = 2.16$
ALMA observations of five DSFGs in the Spiderweb protocluster reveal disturbed molecular gas kinematics, field-like gas fractions that are lower in massive/AGN hosts, and declining gas content and sSFR with proximity ...

A Quasar--Companion System Without AGN Outflow at $z \sim 6$: The Case of PSO J083+11
New ALMA [C II] and FIR data on PSO J083+11 at z=6.34 reveal ordered rotation, typical star-forming ratios, and no outflow signatures in either galaxy, interpreted as a pre-AGN-feedback accretion phase.

The NIKA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey in COSMOS: Final 1.2mm and 2mm source catalogs and redshift distribution of dusty star-forming galaxies
The NIKA2 survey delivers catalogs of 323 mm-selected sources in COSMOS with redshifts peaking at z=2.8, including 66 at z>4, matching SIDES simulations but inconsistent with four other galaxy evolution models.

A Possible Protocluster of Galaxies Serendipitously Discovered in the Field of an Intermediate-Redshift Post-starburst Galaxy
Serendipitous ALMA detection of six dust-emitting galaxies suggests a possible protocluster unrelated to the target post-starburst galaxy at z~0.7.
