Description
We have carried out two extremely deep surveys with SPIRE, one of the
two cameras on Herschel, at 250 μm, close to the peak of the
far-infrared background. We have used the results to investigate the
evolution of the rest-frame 250-μm luminosity function out to z = 2.
We find evidence for strong evolution out to z ≃ 1 but evidence for
at most weak evolution beyond this redshift. Our results suggest that a
significant part of the stars and metals in the universe today were
formed at z preceq 1.4 in spiral galaxies.
Herschel is an ESA space observatory with science instruments provided
by European-led Principal Investigator consortia and with important
participation from NASA.
