Our Second Look at the Immature Universe: The Infrared View

The long-awaited promise of studying high-redshift galaxies at long wavelengths has been partially eclipsed by progress at optical wavelengths, mostly because of the number of available pixels. It is nonetheless essential to study optically selected high-redshift galaxies at wavelengths longward of 1 μm, for several reasons. One of the indications from such studies to date is that interstellar ...
