It is well established in the local Universe that regions of high star-formation rate are dusty. As a result of this physical causal link, galaxies of increasing current star formation activity emit a larger proportion of their bolometric…

Though half of cosmic starlight is absorbed by dust and reradiated at long wavelengths (3$\mu$m-3mm), constraints on the infrared through millimeter galaxy luminosity function (the `IRLF') are poor in comparison to the rest-frame…
We derive the prediction of the standard model of superluminal radio sources for the apparent transverse velocity of a radio source located at redshift z. The apparent velocity of the source is reduced by a factor of 1 + z compared to that…
