Evolutionary Constraints from Infra-Red Source Counts
The backward evolution approach to modelling galaxy source counts is re-visited in the wake of the numerous results and revelations from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) and the detections and measurements of the cosmic extragalactic background light. Using the framework of the Pearson & Rowan-Robinson (1996) galaxy evolution model, the...
متن کاملFar infrared extragalactic background radiation: I. Source counts with ISOPHOT
As a part of the ISOPHOT CIRB (Cosmic Infrared Background Radiation) project we have searched for point-like sources in eight fields mapped at two or three wavelengths between 90μm and 180μm. Most of the 55 sources detected are suspected to be extragalactic and cannot be associated with previously known objects. It is probable, also from the far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distributions, tha...
متن کاملSubmillimetre source counts: first results from SCUBA
The SCUBA submillimetre camera has opened up new possibilities for tracing the evolution of active star formation in dusty galaxies to high redshift, with profound implications for our understanding of the star formation history of the Universe and the contribution from galaxies to the anisotropy of the microwave sky. We review results from several submillimetre surveys started during SCUBA’s f...
متن کاملD outer bulge structure from near infrared star counts
We attempt to study the characteristics of the different stellar populations present in the Galactic central region. A Monte Carlo method is used to simultaneously fit 11 thin disc and triaxial outer bulge density parameters on (Ks, J-Ks) star count data in almost 100 windows from the DENIS near infrared large scale survey at-8 • <l<12 • and |b|<4 •. Various bulge density profiles and luminosit...
متن کاملFitting optical source counts with an infrared-defined model: insights into galaxy evolution
In order to improve the fit to the B band counts, the source count model of RowanRobinson (2001) is improved in two ways. First, density evolution is incorporated to correspond to the mergers in hierarchical models of galaxy formation. Secondly, the evolution of dust opacity, as modelled by Calzetti & Heckman (1999), is taken into account. The luminosity and density evolution parameters and the...
