At redshift $z>5$ the far-infrared (FIR) continuum spectra of main-sequence galaxies are sparsely sampled, often with a single data point. The dust temperature $T_{\rm d, SED}$ thus has to be assumed in the FIR continuum fitting. This…
Some studies suggest that the dust temperatures ($T_\mathrm{d}$) in high-redshift ($z\gtrsim 5$) Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) are high. However, possible observational bias in $T_\mathrm{d}$ is yet to be understood. Thus, we perform a simple…
We present a novel scenario for the growth of dust grains in galaxies at high-redshift ($z\sim 6$). In our model, the mechanical feedback from massive star clusters evolving within high-density pre-enriched media allows to pile-up a large…
A sizable fraction of the heavy elements synthesized by stars in galaxies condenses into sub-micron-sized solid-state particles, known as dust grains. Dust produces a wavelength-dependent attenuation, $A_\lambda$, of the galaxy emission,…
Recent simulation studies suggest that the compaction of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at high redshift might be a critical process, during which the central bulge is being rapidly built, followed by quenching of the star formation. To…
Recent observations have successfully detected UV or infrared flux from galaxies at the epoch of reionization. However, the origin of their radiative properties has not been fully understood yet. Combining cosmological hydrodynamic…
In recent years, observations with the JWST have started to map out the rapid metal enrichment of the early Universe, while (sub)millimeter observations have simultaneously begun to reveal the ubiquity of dust beyond $z\gtrsim6$. However,…
The origin of dust in galaxy halos or in the circum-galactic medium (CGM) is still a mystery. We investigate if the radiation pressure in high-redshift ($z\sim 10$) galaxies can efficiently transport dust to halos. To clarify the first dust…
Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope are yielding tantalizing hints of an early population of massive, bright galaxies at $z > 10$, with Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations indicating significant dust…
Several lines of evidence suggest that early-type galaxies might have been very dusty during their initial evolutionary stages, characterized by intense star formation activity. The radio selection has provided, by far, the richest samples…
The first generation of stars were born a few hundred million years after the big bang. These stars synthesized elements heavier than H and He, that are later expelled into the interstellar medium, initiating the rise of metals. Within this…
The properties of high latitude dust are of great interest to extragalactic astronomers and cosmologists. It is proposed here that essentially all high Galactic latitude interstellar dust is at a typical temperature of about 20~K (i.e. it…
Recent ALMA observations of high-redshift normal galaxies have been providing a great opportunity to clarify the general origin of dust in the Universe, not biased to very bright special objects even at $z>6$. To clarify what constraint we…
The dust properties in high-redshift galaxies provide clues to the origin of dust in the Universe. Although dust has been detected in galaxies at redshift $z>7$, it is difficult to constrain the dominant dust sources only from the total…
The presence of massive galaxies at high $z$ as recently observed by JWST appears to contradict the current $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. Here we aim to alleviate this tension by incorporating uncertainties from three sources in counting…
Estimating the temperature and mass of dust in high-$z$ galaxies is essential for discussions of the origin of dust in the early Universe. However, this suffers from limited sampling of the infrared spectral-energy distribution. Here we…
We test emission models of circum-nuclear dust torii around quasars, at low and high redshifts, by using a large collection of photometric data for an unbiased sample of 120 optically-selected objects with millimetric and sub-millimetric…
Several massive ($M_{*} > 10^8 M_{\odot}$), high-redshift ($z = 8-10$) galaxies have recently been discovered to contain stars with ages of several hundred million years, pushing the onset of star formation in these galaxies back to…
Tracking the cold molecular gas contents of galaxies is critical to understand the interplay between star formation and galaxy growth across cosmic time. Observations of the long-wavelength dust continuum, a proxy for the cold gas, are…
