Predictions for the Counts of Faint, High‐Redshift Galaxies in the Mid‐Infrared
Predictions for the Counts of Faint, High‐Redshift Galaxies in the Mid‐Infrared
Deep mid-infrared (MIR) observations could reveal a population of faint, high-redshift (z > 3), dusty starburst galaxies that are the progenitors of present-day spheroids or bulges and are beyond the reach of current instruments. We utilize a semianalytic galaxy formation scheme to find a range of models for the MIR …
