Notes

  1. 1.

    The content of this Chapter is based on the article Cowley et al. ‘The far-infrared SEDs of main sequence and starburst galaxies’, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 467, Issue 1, p. 1231–1248, published 20 January 2017. Reproduced with permission. All rights reserved, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx165.

  2. 2.

    Some of the results presented here will be made available at http://icc.dur.ac.uk/data/. For other requests please contact the first author.

  3. 3.

    For a sample of SB galaxies at \(z\sim 2\), for MS galaxies the percentage is \(\sim \)65–95.

  4. 4.

    We remind the reader that we have assumed that dust is optically thin to its own emission at FIR/sub-mm wavelengths.
