abstract

We present a statistical study of 180 dust continuum sources identified in 33 massive cluster fields by the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS) over a total of 133 arcmin$^{2}$ area, homogeneously observed at 1.2 mm. ALCS enables us to detect extremely faint mm sources by lensing magnification, including near-infrared (NIR) dark objects showing no counterparts in existing {\it Hubble Space Telescope} and {\it Spitzer} images. The dust continuum sources belong to a blind sample ($N=141$) with S/N $\gtrsim$ 5.0 (a purity of $>$ 0.99) or a secondary sample ($N=39$) with S/N= $4.0-5.0$ screened by priors. With the blind sample, we securely derive 1.2-mm number counts down to $\sim7$ $\mu$Jy, and find that the total integrated 1.2mm flux is 20.7$^{+8.5}_{-6.5}$ Jy deg$^{-2}$, resolving $\simeq$ 80 % of the cosmic infrared background light. The resolved fraction varies by a factor of $0.6-1.1$ due to the completeness correction depending on the spatial size of the mm emission. We also derive infrared (IR) luminosity functions (LFs) at $z=0.6-7.5$ with the $1/V_{\rm max}$ method, finding the redshift evolution of IR LFs characterized by positive luminosity and negative density evolution. The total (=UV+IR) cosmic star-formation rate density (SFRD) at $z>4$ is estimated to be $161^{+25}_{-21}$ % of the established measurements, which were almost exclusively based on optical$-$NIR surveys. Although our general understanding of the cosmic SFRD is unlikely to change beyond a factor of 2, these results add to the weight of evidence for an additional ($\approx 60$ %) SFRD component contributed by the faint-mm population, including NIR dark objects.

  1. A SPectroscopic survey of biased halos In the Reionization Era (ASPIRE): Spectroscopically Complete Census of Obscured Cosmic Star Formation Rate Density at $z=4-6$

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At z=4-6, the dust-obscured star formation rate density is log rho = -1.52, implying that about 66% of cosmic star formation was obscured by dust, based on eight spectroscopically confirmed dusty galaxies.

  2. Breathing Fire: Hot Dust in the Big Three Dragons at z = 7.15

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Big Three Dragons galaxy pair at z=7.15 has hot dust (T_d ≈ 78 K) and is almost fully obscured (f_obs ≈ 0.94), implying that UV-bright galaxies can host major hidden starbursts in the early universe.

  3. Shedding light on the star formation rate-halo accretion rate connection and halo quenching mechanism via DECODE, the Discrete statistical sEmi-empiriCal mODEl

    astro-ph.GA 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An abundance-matched SFR-halo accretion relation plus halo quenching reproduces low-redshift galaxy abundances and quenched fractions, with extra low-mass quenching required for the faint end.

  4. Modeling submillimeter galaxies in cosmological simulations: Contribution to the cosmic star formation density and predictions for future surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    FLAMINGO, the largest of three simulations tested, reproduces observed submillimeter galaxy counts and redshifts with a standard IMF, and predicts TolTEC will find about 80,000 sources at 1.1 mm.

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An ultraluminous little red dot at z=4.47 shows unambiguous broad-line AGN signatures and a Balmer break that favors a massive, old, extremely dense stellar core.

  6. Large molecular and dust reservoir of a gravitationally-lensed submillimeter galaxy behind the Lupus-I molecular cloud

    astro-ph.GA 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    MM J1545 is a strongly lensed dusty star-forming galaxy at z = 3.753 with a large molecular gas reservoir and, under a specific dust-opacity choice, a high dust-to-gas ratio.
