The Cosmic Infrared Background

Dole et al. (2006)

The Cosmic Infrared Background

• COB:– 23nW/m2/sr

• CIB:– 24 nW/m2/sr

• COB/CIB~1• Locally:

– O/I = 0.3

Dole et al. (2006)

Venice 06

The Resolution of the CIB

• COB/CIB ~1 indicates that– There is a strong evolution of the infrared

emission of galaxies– Directly probed by SCUBA (850 µm)– Indirectly probed by

• ISOCAM (15 µm)• MIPS (24 µm)

Venice 06

ISOCAM surveys• Resolved the CIB at 15

µm • Resolved 70% of the

CIB at 140µm– LIRGs ~60 %– ULIRG ~ 25 %

• Massive disks galaxies between z=0.5 and z=1.2

• Liittle AGN contribution (< 20%)

Venice 06

MIPS 24 µm Surveys• Strong Evolution also

observed at 24µm• Strong evolution of

LIRGs and ULIRGs• Massive galaxies

– 40 % of the M > 2x1010Msol are undergoing a starburst at z~0.7 (Bell et al, 2005)

• Little AGN contribution

Open Questions:

• What drives the SB?• Most of the galaxies

responsible for the evolution belong to “Structures”– Elbaz & Cesarsky (2003)

• Bias: is mass a main parameter or are we biased by environment?

• Major Merger?– Hammer et al. (2005)

Venice 06

Open Questions

• What about dense environments ?– Infrared MDR in some clusters:

• A1689: 30 galaxies detected at 15µm (Duc et al., 2002)

• Verified in some clusters, not in others • Age of the structure might be a key parameter

(Coia et al., 2005)

S-Cosmos

• Map the 2 sq degree of the Cosmos field with IRAC and MIPS.

• MIPS: – goal is to reach 67 µJy (5 ) at 24µm– 36 hrs

• Full area at 420 µJy (5 ) • Test field at 67 µJy (5 )

COSMOS Field

• Low Extinction• Low Background

– IRAS 100 m:• COSMOS: 0.9 MJy/sr• Lockman: 0,5 MJy/sr• XMM-LSS: 1.3 Mjy/sr:

• No bright radio/X-ray source

• 10:00:28.6+02:12:21

COSMOS Field

• Low Extinction• Low Background

– IRAC 8 m:• COSMOS: 6.9 MJy/sr• Lockman: 5.0 MJy/sr• XMM-LSS: 7.1 Mjy/sr:

• No bright radio/X-ray source

• 10:00:28.6+02:12:21

COSMOS Field• Low Extinction• Low Background

– MIPS 24 m:• COSMOS: 32.3 MJy/sr• Lockman: 18.4 MJy/sr• XMM-LSS: 31.1 MJy/sr

– At most a loss of 20% in sensitivity w/r to non equatorial fields

• No bright radio/X-ray source

Conclusions

• S-Cosmos MIPS pilot project has demonstrated the

• Need to probe below 100 µJy – to resolve a significant fraction of the CIB– To probe the LIRG regime out to z~2
