Dust at cosmic dawn: unveiling the onset of dust and obscured star formation at z 8

ALMA2040 is a next-generation submillimeter interferometer designed to detect dust emission from galaxies at high redshifts ($z > 8$) with unprecedented sensitivity. This will allow researchers to measure dust masses, temperatures, and infrared luminosities simultaneously. This capability is crucial for understanding how dust and obscured star formation began in the earliest galaxies.
