Abstract The star formation rate density (SFRD) history of the universe is well constrained up to redshift z ∼ 2. At earlier cosmic epochs, picture has been largely inferred from UV-selected galaxies (e.g., Lyman-break galaxies; LBGs). However, rates LBGs strongly depend on assumed dust extinction correction, which not at high , while observations in radio domain are affected by this issue. In work we measure SFRD a 1.4 GHz selected sample ∼600 GOODS-N field ∼3.5. We take into account...
Abstract In the last decades, an increasing scientific interest has been growing in elusive population of dark (i.e., lacking optical/near-IR, hereafter NIR, counterpart) dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs). Although extremely promising for their likely contribution to cosmic star formation rate density (SFRD) and possible role evolution first massive passive around z ∼ 3, difficulty selecting statistically significant samples DSFGs is limiting potentialities. This work presents panchromatic...
Aims. We leverage the largest available Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) survey from archive (A 3 COSMOS) to study infrared luminosity function and dust-obscured star formation rate density of (sub)millimeter galaxies z = 0.5 − 6. Methods. The A COSMOS utilizes all publicly ALMA data in field therefore has inhomogeneous coverage terms observing wavelength depth. In order derive functions densities, we applied a newly developed method that corrects statistics an...

We present the first follow-up with JWST of radio-selected near-infrared (NIR)-faint galaxies as part COSMOS-Web survey. By selecting detected at radio frequencies (S_ 3 GHz >11.5 μJy; i.e., S/N$>5$) and faint counterparts NIR wavelengths (F150W$>26.1$ mag), we collected a sample 127 likely dusty star-forming (DSFGs). estimated their physical properties through SED fitting, computed luminosity function for these types sources contribution to total cosmic star formation rate density....
We present an updated repository of sub-mJy extragalactic radio source counts between 150 MHz and 10 GHz, incorporating recent advances in surveys observational techniques. By compiling refining previous datasets, we provide a comprehensive catalog that enhances the understanding faint radio-source populations, including Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies (DSFGs) Radio-Quiet Active Galactic Nuclei (RQAGNs), from intermediate to high redshifts. Our analysis accounts for biases, such as resolution...
We present high-resolution ($\lesssim0.1$arcsec) ALMA observations of the strongly-lensed galaxy HATLASJ113526.2-01460 at redshift $z\sim3.1$ discovered in Gama 12$^{\rm th}$ field Herschel-ATLAS survey. The gravitationally lensed system is remarkably peculiar that neither background source nor foreground lens show a clearly detected optical/NIR emission. perform accurate modeling and morphology reconstruction three different (sub-)mm continuum bands, C[II] CO(8-7) spectral lines. indicates...
Abstract About 12 billion years ago, the Universe was first experiencing light again after dark ages, and galaxies filled environment with stars, metals, dust. How efficient this process? fast did these primordial form stars dust? We can answer questions by tracing star formation rate density (SFRD) back to its widely unknown high-redshift tail, traditionally observed in near-infrared (NIR), optical, UV bands. Thus, objects a large amount of dust were missing. aim fill knowledge gap studying...
Fostered by upcoming data from new generation observational campaigns, we are about to enter a era for the study of how galaxies form and evolve. The unprecedented quantity that will be collected, distances only marginally grasped up now, require analysis tools designed target specific physical peculiarities observed sources handle extremely large datasets.

In this paper, we investigate the benefits of teaming up data from radio to far-infrared (FIR) regime for characterization dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs). These are thought be progenitors local massive quiescent and play a pivotal role in reconstruction cosmic star formation rate density high redshift. Due their dust-enshrouded nature, DSFGs often invisible near-infrared/optical/UV bands. Therefore, they necessitate observations at longer wavelengths, primarily FIR band, where dust...
Abstract We investigate the radio-far infrared (FIR) correlation for a sample of 28 bright high-redshift (1 ≲ z 4) star-forming galaxies selected in FIR from Herschel-ATLAS fields as candidates to be strongly gravitationally lensed. The radio information comes either high sensitivity dedicated ATCA observations at 2.1 GHz or cross-matches with FIRST survey 1.4 GHz. By taking advantage source brightness possibly enhanced by lensing magnification, we identify weak evolution redshift out 4...

We present the first spectroscopic ALMA follow-up for a pilot sample of nine radio-selected near-IR-dark galaxies in COSMOS field. These sources were initially selected as radio-detected ( S 3 GHz > 12.65 μJy) without an optical or near-IR (NIR) counterpart COSMOS2015 catalog Ks ≳ 24.7 mag), and just three them subsequently detected deeper COSMOS2020. Several studies highlighted that this selection could provide population highly dust-obscured, massive, star-bursting galaxies. With these...
