Unveiling the Dark Side of Ultraviolet/Optical Bright Galaxies: Optically Thick Dust Absorption

Unveiling the Dark Side of Ultraviolet/Optical Bright Galaxies: Optically Thick Dust Absorption

Over the past decades, a population of galaxies invisible in optical/near-infrared (NIR), but bright at longer wavelengths, have been identified through color selections. These so-called optically faint/dark galaxies are considered to be massive quiescent galaxies or highly dust-attenuated galaxies....
