Dust-obscured star formation: observational constraints from the last decade

Author(s): Jorge A. Zavala

Presenter: Jorge Zavala (NAOJ)

After a decade of the submillimeter/millimeter revolution initiated by the ALMA telescope, the presence of dust-enshrouded star formation activity has been confirmed in low- and high-redshift galaxies, reaching up to z=8.
From such detections, useful constraints on the dust-obscured component of the cosmic star formation history have been derived. In this talk, we will summarize the most recent surveys focused on constraining the dust-obscured star formation history, including our ALMA 2mm MORA survey, as well as and the current state-of-the-art of the field. Finally, we will describe upcoming ALMA observations and the synergy between ALMA and other telescopes, such as the recently launched JWST, to improve our knowledge of the prevalence of dust during the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
