Abstract: Roughly half of the radiation from evolving galaxies in the early Universe reaches us in the far-infrared and submillimeter wavelength ranges. Recent major advances in observing capabilities, in particular the launch of the Herschel Space Observatory in 2009, have dramatically enhanced our ability to use this information in the context of multiwavelength studies of galaxy evolution. Near its peak, three-quarters of the cosmic infrared background is now resolved into individually detected sources. The use of far-infrared diagnostics of dust-obscured star formation and of interstellar medium conditions has expanded from extreme and rare extreme high-redshift galaxies to more typical main-sequence galaxies and hosts of active galactic nuclei out to z≳2. These studies shed light on the evolving role of steady equilibrium processes and of brief starbursts at and since the peak of cosmic star formation and black hole accretion. This review presents a selection of recent far-infrared studies of galaxy evolution ...

Cosmic Star-Formation History

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the range of complementary techniques and theoretical tools that allow astronomers to map the cosmic history of star formation, heavy element production, and reionization of the Universe from the cosmic "dark ages" to the present epoch.

Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies at High Redshift
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the current status of star-forming galaxies (DSFGs), focusing especially on the detailed characterization of the best-understood subset (submillimeter galaxies), who were summarized in the last review of this field over a decade ago, Blain et al.

Dusty Star Forming Galaxies at High Redshift
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the current status of star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) studies, focusing especially on the detailed characterization of the best-understood subset (submillimeter galaxies), and also the selection and characterization of more recently discovered DSFG populations.

Luminous infrared galaxies
David B. Sanders,I. F. Mirabel +1 more
TL;DR: At the highest luminosities (Lir > 1012 ), nearly all objects appear to be advanced mergers powered by a mixture of circumnuclear starburst and active galactic nucleus energy sources, both of which are fueled by an enormous concentration of molecular gas that has been funneled into the merger nucleus as discussed by the authors.
Star Formation in the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies.
