The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey Large Program: The Infrared Excess of z=1.5-10 UV-selected Galaxies and the Implied High-Redshift Star Formation History [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We make use of sensitive (9.3 microJy/beam RMS) 1.2mm-continuum observations from the ASPECS ALMA large program of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) to probe dust-enshrouded star formation from 1362 Lyman-break galaxies spanning the redshift range z=1.5-10 (to \textasciitilde7-28 Msolar/yr at 4 sigma over the entire range). We find that the fraction of ALMA-detected galaxies in our z=1.5-10 samples increases steeply with stellar mass, with the detection fraction rising from 0% at 10\textasciicircum9 Msolar to 85(-18)(+9)% at \textgreater10\textasciicircum\10\ Msolar. Moreover, stacking all 1253 low-mass (\textless10\textasciicircum\9.25\ Msolar) galaxies over the ASPECS footprint, we find a mean continuum flux of -0.1+/-0.4 microJy/beam, implying a hard upper limit on the obscured SFR of \textless0.6 Msolar/yr (4 sigma) in a typical low-mass galaxy. The correlation between the infrared excess IRX of UV-selected galaxies (L(IR)/L(UV)) and the UV-continuum slope is also seen in our ASPECS data and shows consistency with a Calzetti-like relation at \textgreater10\textasciicircum\9.5\ M_\solar\ and a SMC-like relation at lower masses. Using stellar-mass and beta measurements for z\textasciitilde2 galaxies over CANDELS, we derive a new empirical relation between beta and stellar mass and then use this correlation to show that our IRX-beta and IRX-stellar mass relations are consistent with each other. We then use these constraints to express the infrared excess as a bivariate function of beta and stellar mass. Finally, we present updated estimates of star-formation rate density determinations at z\textgreater3, leveraging current improvements in the measured infrared excess and recent probes of ultra-luminous far-IR galaxies at z\textgreater2.
