We apply the supernova(SN) extinction curves to reproduce the observed properties of SST J1604+4304 which is a young infrared (IR) galaxy at z = 1. The SN extinction curves used in this work were obtained from models of unmixed ejecta of type II supernovae(SNe II) for the Salpeter initial mass function (IMF) with a mass range from 8 to 30 M_sun or 8 to 40 M_sun. The effect of dust distributions on the attenuation of starlight is investigated by performing the chi-square fitting method against various dust distributions. These are the commonly used uniform dust screen, the clumpy dust screen, and the internal dust geometry. We add to these geometries three scattering properties, namely, no-scattering, isotropic scattering, and forward-only scattering. Judging from the chi-square values, we find that the uniform screen models with any scattering property provide good approximations to the real dust geometry. Internal dust is inefficient to attenuate starlight and thus cannot be the dominant source of the extinction. We show that the SN extinction curves reproduce the data of SST J1604+4304 comparable to or better than the Calzetti extinction curve. The Milky Way extinction curve is not in satisfactory agreement with the data unless several dusty clumps are in the line of sight. This trend may be explained by the abundance of SN-origin dust in these galaxies; SN dust is the most abundant in the young IR galaxy at z = 1, abundant in local starbursts, and less abundant in the Galaxy. If dust in SST J1604+4304 is dominated by SN dust, the dust production rate is about 0.1 M_sun per SN.

We analyze the multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic data of 12 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at z ~ 1 and compare them with models of stars and dust in order to study the extinction law and star formation in young infrared (IR) g
alaxies. Five extinction curves, namely, the Milky Way (MW), the pseudo MW which is MW-like without the 2175 Angstrom feature, the Calzetti, and two SN dust curves, are applied to the data, by combining with various dust distributions, namely, the uniform dust screen, the clumpy dust screen, the internal dust geometry, and the composite geometry with a combination of dust screen and internal dust. Employing a minimum chi square method, we find that the foreground dust screen geometry, especially combined with the 8 - 40 M_sun SN extinction curve, provides a good approximation to the real dust geometry, whereas internal dust is only significant in 2 galaxies. The SN extinction curves, which are flatter than the others, reproduce the data of 8(67%) galaxies better. Dust masses are estimated to be in excess of ~ 10^8 M_sun. Inferred ages of the galaxies are very young, 8 of which range from 10 to 650 Myr. The SN-origin dust is the most plausible to account for the vast amount of dust masses and the flat slope of the observed extinction law. The inferred dust mass per SN ranges from 0.01 to 0.4 M_sun/SN.
We present the detailed optical to far-infrared observations of SST J1604+4304, an ULIRG at z = 1.135. Analyzing the stellar absorption lines, namely, the CaII H & K and Balmer H lines in the optical spectrum, we derive the upper limits of an age for
the stellar population. Given this constraint, the minimum {chi}^2 method is used to fit the stellar population models to the observed SED from 0.44 to 5.8um. We find the following properties. The stellar population has an age 40 - 200 Myr with a metallicity 2.5 Z_{sun}. The starlight is reddened by E(B-V) = 0.8. The reddening is caused by the foreground dust screen, indicating that dust is depleted in the starburst site and the starburst site is surrounded by a dust shell. The infrared (8-1000um) luminosity is L_{ir} = 1.78 +/- 0.63 * 10^{12} L_{sun}. This is two times greater than that expected from the observed starlight, suggesting either that 1/2 of the starburst site is completely obscured at UV-optical wavelengths, or that 1/2 of L_{ir} comes from AGN emission. The inferred dust mass is 2.0 +/- 1.0 * 10^8 M_{sun}. This is sufficient to form a shell surrounding the galaxy with an optical depth E(B-V) = 0.8. From our best stellar population model - an instantaneous starburst with an age 40 Myr, we infer the rate of 19 supernovae(SNe) per year. Simply analytical models imply that 2.5 Z_{sun} in stars was reached when the gas mass reduced to 30% of the galaxy mass. The gas metallcity is 4.8 Z_{sun} at this point. The gas-to-dust mass ratio is then 120 +/- 73. The inferred dust production rate is 0.24 +/- 0.12 M_{sun} per SN. If 1/2 of L_{ir} comes from AGN emission, the rate is 0.48 +/- 0.24 M_{sun} per SN. We discuss the evolutionary link of SST J1604+4304 to other galaxy populations in terms of the stellar masses and the galactic winds.
I present a generalized power-law diagnostic that allows to identify the presence of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in infrared (IR) galaxies at z>1, down to flux densities at which the extragalactic IR background is mostly resolved. I derive this diag
nostic from the analysis of 174 galaxies with Snu(24)>80 microJy and spectroscopic redshifts zspec>1 in the Chandra Deep Field South, for which I study the rest-frame UV/optical/near-IR spectral energy distributions (SEDs), after subtracting a hot-dust, power-law component with three possible spectral indices alpha=1.3, 2.0 and 3.0. I obtain that 35% of these 24micron sources are power-law composite galaxies (PLCGs), which I define as those galaxies for which the SED fitting with stellar templates, without any previous power-law subtraction, can be rejected with >2sigma confidence. Subtracting the power-law component from the PLCG SEDs produces stellar-mass correction factors <1.5 in >80% of cases. The PLCG incidence is especially high (47%) at z=1.0-1.5. To unveil which PLCGs host AGN, I conduct a combined analysis of 4Ms X-ray data, galaxy morphologies, and a greybody modelling of the hot dust. I find that: 1) 77% of all the X-ray AGN in my 24micron sample at z=1.0-1.5 are recognised by the PLCG criterion; 2) PLCGs with alpha=1.3 or 2.0 have regular morphologies and T_dust >~1000 K, indicating nuclear activity. Instead, PLCGs with alpha=3.0 are characterised by disturbed galaxy dynamics, and a hot interstellar medium can explain their dust temperatures T_dust ~700-800 K. Overall, my results indicate that the fraction of AGN among 24 micron sources is between ~30% and 52% at z=1.0-1.5.
Context: GRB afterglows are excellent probes of gas and dust in star-forming galaxies at all epochs. It has been posited that dust in the early Universe must be different from dust at lower z. To date two reports directly support this contention, one
of which is based on the spectral shape of GRB 050904 at z = 6.295. Aims: We reinvestigate the afterglow to understand dust at high z. We address the claimed evidence for unusual (SN-origin) dust in its host galaxy by simultaneously examining the X-ray and optical/NIR spectrophotometric data. Methods: We derive the intrinsic SED of the afterglow at 0.47, 1.25 and 3.4 days, by re-reducing the Swift X-ray data, the 1.25 days FORS2 z-Gunn photometric data, the spectroscopic and z-band photometric data at ~3 days from the Subaru telescope, as well as the critical UKIRT Z-band photometry at 0.47 days, upon which the claim of dust detection largely relies. Results: We find no evidence of dust extinction in the SED. We compute flux densities at lambda_rest = 1250 AA directly from the observed counts at all epochs. In the earliest epoch, 0.47 days, the Z-band suppression is found to be smaller (0.3 +- 0.2 mag) than previously reported and statistically insignificant (<1.5 sigma). Furthermore we find that the photometry of this band is unstable and difficult to calibrate. Conclusions: From the afterglow SED we demonstrate that there is no evidence for dust extinction -- the SED at all times can be reproduced without dust, and at 1.25 days in particular, significant extinction can be excluded, with A(3000 AA) < 0.27 mag at 95% confidence using the SN-type extinction curve. We conclude that there is no evidence of any extinction in the afterglow of GRB 050904 and that the presence of SN-origin dust in the host of GRB 050904 must be viewed skeptically. [abridged]
We present the results of extinction measurements toward the main ejecta shell of the Cassiopeia A supernova (SN) remnant using the flux ratios between the two near-infrared (NIR) [Fe II] lines at 1.26 and 1.64 $mu {rm m}$. We find a clear correlatio
n between the NIR extinction ($E(J-H)$) and the radial velocity of ejecta knots, showing that redshifted knots are systematically more obscured than blueshifted ones. This internal self-extinction strongly indicates that a large amount of SN dust resides inside and around the main ejecta shell. At one location in the southern part of the shell, we measure $E(J-H)$ by the SN dust of 0.23$pm$0.05 mag. By analyzing the spectral energy distribution of thermal dust emission at that location, we show that there are warm ($sim$100 K) and cool ($sim$40 K) SN dust components and that the latter is responsible for the observed $E(J-H)$. We investigate the possible grain species and size of each component and find that the warm SN dust needs to be silicate grains such as MgSiO$_{3}$, Mg$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$, and SiO$_{2}$, whereas the cool dust could be either small ($leq$0.01 $mu {rm m}$) Fe or large ($geq$0.1 $mu {rm m}$) Si grains. We suggest that the warm and cool dust components in Cassiopeia A represent grain species produced in diffuse SN ejecta and in dense ejecta clumps, respectively.
