Modelling the infrared galaxy evolution using a phenomenological approach
G. Lagache, H. Dole, J-L. Puget, MNRAS, 2003, 338, 555
To characterise the cosmological evolution of the sources contributing
to the infrared extragalactic background, we have
developped a phenomenological model that constrains in
a simple way the galaxy luminosity function evolution
with the redshift, and fits all the existing source
counts and redshift distributions, Cosmic Infrared
Background intensity and fluctuations observations
from the mid-infrared to the submillimetre range. The
model is based on template spectra of starburst and
normal galaxies, and on the local infrared luminosity
function. Although the Cosmic Infrared Background can
be modeled with very different luminosity functions as
long as the radiation production with redshift is the
right one, the number counts, and the anisotropies of
the unresolved background, imply that the luminosity
function must change dramatically with redshift, with
a rapid evolution of the high-luminosity sources
(Log(L) > 11.5 Lo) from z=0 to z=1 which then stay
rather constant up to redshift 5. The derived
evolution of the IR luminosity function may be linked
to a bimodal star formation process, one associated
with the quiescent and passive phase of the galaxy
evolution and one associated with the starburst phase,
trigerred by merging and interactions. The latter
dominates the infrared and submillimetre ouput energy
of the Universe.
The model is intended as a convenient tool to plan further
observations, as illustrated through predictions for
Herschel, Planck and ALMA observations. Our model
predictions for given wavelengths, together with
some usefull routines, are available for general use
hereafter.

We present an updated phenomenological galaxy evolution model to fit
the Spitzer 24, 70 and 160 micron number counts as
well as all the previous mid and far infrared
observations. Only a minor change of the co-moving
luminosity density distribution in the previous
model, combined with a slight modification of the
starburst template spectra mainly between 12 and
30 microns, are required to fit all the data
available. We show that the peak in the MIPS 24
microns counts is dominated by galaxies with
redshift between 1 and 2, with a non negligible
contribution from the z>2 galaxies (~30% at S=0.2
mJy). The very close agreement between the model
and number counts at 15 and 24 microns strikingly
implies that
(1) the PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) features remain
prominent in the redshift band 0.5 to 2.5 and
(2) the IR energy output has to be dominated by ~3 10^11 Lo to ~10^12
Lo galaxies from redshift 0.5 to 2.5.
Combining Spitzer with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) deep
cosmological surveys gives for the first
time an unbiased view of the infrared
Universe from z=0 to z=2.5.
