Cosmic star-formation history and black hole accretion history inferred from the JWST mid-infrared source counts
Kilerci, Ece; Hashimoto, Tetsuya; Goto, Tomotsugu +7 more
With the advent of the JWST, extragalactic source count studies were conducted down to sub-µJy in the mid-infrared (MIR), which is several tens of times fainter than what the previous-generation infrared (IR) telescopes achieved in the MIR. In this work, we aim to interpret the JWST source counts and constrain cosmic star-formation history (…
Oxygen abundance of γ Vel from [O III] 88 µm Herschel/PACS spectroscopy
Hillier, D. J.; Morris, P. W.; Barlow, M. J. +4 more
We present Herschel PACS spectroscopy of the [O III] 88.4 µm fine-structure line in the nearby WC8+O binary system γ Vel to determine its oxygen abundance. The critical density of this line corresponds to several 105R* such that it is spatially extended in PACS observations at the 336 pc distance to γ Vel. Two approache…
Modelling JWST mid-infrared counts: excellent consistency with models derived for IRAS, ISO, and Spitzer
Rowan-Robinson, Michael
Models derived in 2009 to fit mid-infrared (8-24 micron) source counts from the IRAS, ISO, and Spitzer missions, provide an excellent fit to deep counts with JWST, demonstrating that the evolution of dusty star-forming galaxies is well understood. The evolution of dust in galaxies at high redshifts is discussed and a simple prescription is propose…
