We constructed a model of infrared and sub-mm (hereafter IR) galaxy number count and estimated history of the IR luminosity density. We treat the evolutionary change of galaxy luminosities as a stepwise nonparametric form, in order to explore the most suitable evolutionary history which reproduces the present observational results. We found the evolutionary patterns which satisfy both constraints required from Cosmic Infrared Background (CIRB) and IR galaxy number counts. One order of magnitude increase of luminosity at redshift $z=0.75 - 1.0$ was found in IR $60 mu$m luminosity density evolution. We also found that a large number of galaxies ($sim 10^7$ in the whole sky) will be detected in all-sky survey at far-infrared by Infrared Imaging Surveyor (IRIS); Japanese infrared satellite project Astro-F.

[Abridged] This paper aims at providing new conservative constraints to the cosmic star-formation history from the empirical modeling of mid- and far-infrared data. We perform a non-parametric inversion of galaxy counts at 15, 24, 70, 160, and 850 mi crons simultaneously. It is a blind search (no redshift information is required) of all possible evolutions of the infrared luminosity function of galaxies, from which the evolution of the star-formation rate density and its uncertainties are derived. The cosmic infrared background (CIRB) measurements are used a posteriori to tighten the range of solutions. The inversion relies only on two hypotheses: (1) the luminosity function remains smooth both in redshift and luminosity, (2) a set of infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies must be assumed. The range of star-formation histories that we derive is well constrained and consistent with redshift-based measurements from deep surveys. The redshift decompositions of the counts are also recovered successfully. Therefore, multi-wavelength counts and CIRB (both projected observations) alone seem to contain enough information to recover the cosmic star-formation history with quantifiable errors. A peak of the SFRD at z~2 is preferred, although higher redshifts are not excluded. We also find a good consistency between the observed evolution of the stellar mass density and the prediction from our model. Finally, the inability of the inversion to model perfectly and simultaneously all the multi-wavelength infrared counts (especially at 160 microns where an excess is seen around 20 mJ) implies either (i) the existence of a sub-population of colder galaxies, (ii) a larger dispersion of dust temperatures among local galaxies than expected, (iii) or a redshift evolution of the infrared SEDs of galaxies.
We present a linear clustering model of cosmic infrared background (CIB) anisotropies at large scales that is used to measure the cosmic star formation rate density up to redshift 6, the effective bias of the CIB and the mass of dark-matter halos hos ting dusty star-forming galaxies. This is achieved using the Planck CIB auto- and cross-power spectra (between different frequencies) and CIBxCMB lensing cross-spectra measurements, as well as external constraints (e.g. on the CIB mean brightness). We recovered an obscured star formation history which agrees well with the values derived from infrared deep surveys and we confirm that the obscured star formation dominates the unobscured one up to at least z=4. The obscured and unobscured star formation rate densities are compatible at $1sigma$ at z=5. We also determined the evolution of the effective bias of the galaxies emitting the CIB and found a rapid increase from $sim$0.8 at z$=$0 to $sim$8 at z$=$4. At 2$<$z$<$4, this effective bias is similar to that of galaxies at the knee of the mass functions and submillimeter galaxies. This effective bias is the weighted average of the true bias with the corresponding emissivity of the galaxies. The halo mass corresponding to this bias is thus not exactly the mass contributing the most to the star formation density. Correcting for this, we obtained a value of log(M$_h$/M$_{odot}$)=12.77$_{-0.125}^{+0.128}$ for the mass of the typical dark matter halo contributing to the CIB at z=2. Finally, we also computed using a Fisher matrix analysis how the uncertainties on the cosmological parameters affect the recovered CIB model parameters and find that the effect is negligible.
Recently reported infrared (IR) galaxy number counts and cosmic infrared background (CIRB) all suggest that galaxies have experienced a strong evolution sometime in their lifetime. We statistically estimate the galaxy evolution history from these dat a. We find that an order of magnitude increase of the far-infrared (FIR) luminosity at redshift z = 0.5 - 1.0 is necessary to reproduce the very high CIRB intensity at 140 um reported by Hauser et al. (1998). z sim 0.75 and decreases to, even at most, a factor of 10 toward z sim 5, though many variants are allowed within these constraints. This evolution history also satisfies the constraints from the galaxy number counts obtained by IRAS, ISO and, roughly, SCUBA. The rapid evolution of the comoving IR luminosity density required from the CIRB well reproduces the very steep slope of galaxy number counts obtained by ISO. We also estimate the cosmic star formation history (SFH) from the obtained FIR luminosity density, considering the effect of the metal enrichment in galaxies. The derived SFH increases steeply with redshift in 0 < z < 0.75, and becomes flat or even declines at z > 0.75. This is consistent with the SFH estimated from the reported ultraviolet luminosity density. In addition, we present the performance of the Japanese ASTRO-F FIR galaxy survey. We show the expected number counts in the survey. We also evaluate how large a sky area is necessary to derive a secure information of galaxy evolution up to z sim 1 from the survey, and find that at least 50 - 300 deg^2 is required.
We present an overview of the design of IRIS, an infrared (0.84 - 2.4 micron) integral field spectrograph and imaging camera for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). With extremely low wavefront error (<30 nm) and on-board wavefront sensors, IRIS will t ake advantage of the high angular resolution of the narrow field infrared adaptive optics system (NFIRAOS) to dissect the sky at the diffraction limit of the 30-meter aperture. With a primary spectral resolution of 4000 and spatial sampling starting at 4 milliarcseconds, the instrument will create an unparalleled ability to explore high redshift galaxies, the Galactic center, star forming regions and virtually any astrophysical object. This paper summarizes the entire design and basic capabilities. Among the design innovations is the combination of lenslet and slicer integral field units, new 4Kx4k detectors, extremely precise atmospheric dispersion correction, infrared wavefront sensors, and a very large vacuum cryogenic system.
We use new deep near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) observations to analyze the 850$~mu$m image of the GOODS HDF-N region. We show that much of the submillimeter background at this wavelength is picked out by sources with $H(AB)$ or 3.6um (AB) <23.25 (1.8 uJy). These sources contribute an 850um background of 24pm2 Jy deg^-2. This is a much higher fraction of the measured background (31-45 Jy deg^-2) than is found with current 20cm or 24um samples. Roughly one-half of these NIR-selected sources have spectroscopic identifications, and we can assign robust photometric redshifts to nearly all of the remaining sources using their UV to MIR spectral energy distributions. We use the redshift and spectral type information to show that a large fraction of the 850um background light comes from sources with z=0-1.5 and that the sources responsible have intermediate spectral types. Neither the elliptical galaxies, which have no star formation, nor the bluest galaxies, which have little dust, contribute a significant amount of 850um light, despite the fact that together they comprise approximately half of the galaxies in the sample. The galaxies with intermediate spectral types have a mean flux of 0.40pm0.03 mJy at 850um and 9.1pm0.3 uJy at 20cm. The redshift distribution of the NIR-selected 850um light lies well below that of the much smaller amount of light traced by the more luminous, radio- selected submillimeter sources. We therefore require a revised star-formation history with a lower star-formation rate at high redshifts. We use a stacking analysis of the 20cm light in the NIR sample to show that the star-formation history of the total 850um sample is relatively flat down to z~1 and that half of the total star formation occurs at redshifts z<1.4.
