The Ultraviolet Slopes of Early Universe Galaxies: The Impact of Bursty Star Formation, Dust, and Nebular Continuum Emission by Desika Narayanan, Daniel P. Stark, Steven L. Finkelstein, Paul Torrey, Qi Li, Fergus Cullen, Micheal W. Topping, Federico Marinacci, Laura V. Sales, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger

“…This increase in dust mass is due to high grain–grain shattering rates, and enhanced growth per unit dust mass in very small grains, resulting in UV-detected galaxies at z ∼ 12 descending into Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array–detectable galaxies by z ∼ 6. The rapid rise in dust content at z ≈ 8–10 leads to a systematic reddening of the UV slopes during this redshift range. …”
