The cosmic infrared background records much of the radiant energy released by processes of structure formation that have occurred since the decoupling of matter and radiation following the Big Bang. In the past few years, data from the Cosmic Background Explorer mission provided the first measurements of this background, with additional constraints coming from studies of the attenuation of TeV gamma-rays. At the same time there has been rapid progress in resolving a significant fraction of this background with the deep galaxy counts at infrared wavelengths from the Infrared Space Observatory instruments and at submillimeter wavelengths from the Submillimeter Common User Bolometer Array instrument. This article reviews the measurements of the infrared background and sources contributing to it, and discusses the implications for past and present cosmic processes.

  1. MEGA and SMILES Find Fewer Dusty Galaxies than Expected at Cosmic Noon

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    JWST MIRI observations of 634 galaxies at 0.2<z<2 yield IR luminosity functions with faint-end slope α≈0.147, implying lower dust-obscured SFRD than previous ALMA/Herschel/Spitzer studies.

  2. Constraining cosmological parameters from very-high-energy $\gamma$-ray attenuation in blazar spectra: Bayesian inference and systematic uncertainties

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Gamma-ray attenuation in 241 blazar spectra constrains the combined opacity/Hubble ratio r=1.723^{+0.096}_{-0.095}, giving H0=58.3^{+3.4}_{-3.0} km/s/Mpc (fixed EBL) or 60.5^{+10.8}_{-10.0} with an 18% EBL-scale uncertainty.

  3. BROOM: a python package for model-independent analysis of microwave astronomical data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    BROOM is a Python package that applies ILC and GILC techniques for model-independent separation of CMB, SZ, and foreground signals in microwave data along with diagnostic and simulation utilities.
