Abstract Galaxies are essential building blocks of the Universe, and half of their energy is obscured by dust and reemitted in the infrared and submillimeter. Multi-wavelengths observations are therefore essential for painting a complete picture of galaxy formation and evolution. In the past five years, using cutting-edge facilities such as ALMA, VLT, and the JWST, I have led long-term observational programs that aim to tackle a number of fundamental questions related to cosmology and galaxy formation. In particular, what is the origin of the submillimeter background light? What role does dusty galaxy play in galaxy formation? In this talk, I will present our findings on these questions, and introduce the plan for the next five years, including building a large single dish submillimeter observatory that will bring breakthroughs in many fronts of far-infrared and submillimeter astrophysics. |
