Has JWST Seen Everything? Hunting for "NIRCam-dark" Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies at z 6 - 9 with ALMA2040
Researchers propose using a blind 1.3-mm continuum survey with ALMA2040 to find a census of 'NIRCam-dark' dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) between z 6 and z 9. These are galaxies missed by JWST's near-infrared camera, potentially tracing a crucial missing rapid growth phase connecting early luminous galaxies to massive quiescent systems.
