We examine the behaviour of the infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) over the range $0<z<6$ using new, highly sensitive 3GHz observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and infrared data from the Herschel Space Observatory in the 2deg$^{2}$ COSMOS field. We distinguish between objects where emission is believed to arise solely from star-formation, and those where an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is thought to be present. We account for non-detections in the radio or in the infrared using a doubly-censored survival analysis. We find that the IRRC of star-forming galaxies, quantified by the infrared-to-1.4GHz radio luminosity ratio ($q_{\rm TIR}$), decreases with increasing redshift: $q_{\rm TIR}(z)=(2.88\pm0.03)(1+z)^{-0.19\pm0.01}$. Moderate-to-high radiative luminosity AGN do not follow the same $q_{\rm TIR}$$(z)$ trend, having a lower normalisation and steeper decrease with redshift. We cannot rule out the possibility that unidentified AGN contributions only to the radio regime may be steepening the observed $q_{\rm TIR}(z)$ trend of the star-forming population. An increasing fractional contribution to the observed 3GHz flux by free-free emission of star-forming galaxies may also affect the derived evolution. However, we find that the standard (M82-based) assumption of the typical radio spectral energy distribution (SED) for star-forming galaxies is inconsistent with our results. This suggests a more complex shape of the typical radio SED for star-forming galaxies, and that imperfect $K$ corrections in the radio may govern the derived redshift trend of $q_{\rm TIR}$. Lastly, we present a redshift-dependent relation between rest-frame 1.4GHz radio luminosity and star formation rate taking the derived redshift trend into account.

  1. A MIGHTEE robust measurement of the star formation rate-radio correlation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    The SFR–1.4 GHz radio correlation is log10(SFR) = 0.790(L′)+1.244(1+z)^0.122−0.033M′ with 0.178 dex scatter, showing significant redshift but weak mass dependence when AGN are treated probabilistically.

  2. AGN radiative feedback as the main regulator of [O III] outflow activity and obscuration in X-ray AGN

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 accept novelty 6.5

    AGN radiation pressure, not black-hole mass, simultaneously boosts large-scale [O III] outflows and clears circumnuclear gas as Eddington ratio rises.

  3. Deep far-UV observations of the ELAIS N1 field using AstroSat: Source catalogue, spectral energy distribution modelling and star formation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    UVIT FUV catalogues of ELAIS N1 plus CIGALE SED fits show SFR increasing with redshift and a flat young-to-total stellar mass ratio to z≲0.76, consistent with secular SFMS evolution.

  4. PEARLS: JWST Counterparts of Micro-Jy Radio Sources in the NEP Time Domain Field. II. All Four Spokes

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Nearly every microjansky radio source in the NEP field has a bright JWST 4.4 μm host galaxy, and most hosts are star-forming, with a large minority showing active-galactic-nucleus signatures.

  5. The VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project: Polarised source counts and catalogue

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Deep 3 GHz polarised source counts detect 65 sources (51 deg^{-2}), consistent with 1.4 GHz literature due to spectral index and depolarisation, with a 2σ upper limit of <2.0 deg^{-2} on polarised SFG density.

  6. Far-infrared observations of dust in Ly$\alpha$ emitters at z=2-6

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Far-IR stacking of ~4000 LAEs at z=2-6 yields detections in massive AGN hosts with low f_esc(Lyα) (1-7%) and higher values (>10%) in undetected stacks, plus elevated IRX relative to typical star-forming galaxies.

  7. AGN radiative feedback as the main regulator of [O III] outflow activity and obscuration in X-ray AGN

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Higher Eddington ratio AGN exhibit increased [O III] outflow incidence and reduced obscuration, supporting radiative feedback as the regulator.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-scale radio observations of 15 local U/LIRGs decompose emission to show nuclear components contribute ~50% on average while diffuse SF-related emission dominates ~80% of total power, with radio excess linked to ...

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    JWST finds infrared counterparts for nearly all micro-Jy radio sources, with star formation explaining the radio output in roughly 79% of cases after accounting for non-linear luminosity relations.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 3.0

    Deep AstroSat/UVIT far-UV observations of ELAIS N1 confirm that star-forming galaxies exhibit steady, secularly evolving star formation across 0 < z < 0.76.
