Over half of the far-infrared background light comes from galaxies at z ≥ 1.2

BLAST from the past Submillimetre galaxies at redshifts of 1< z > 4 are thought to be precursors of the giant elliptical galaxies in the present-day Universe, as they are the only known objects with sufficiently massive star formation rates. A new extra-galactic survey from the Balloon-borne L...
