Abstract: Near- to mid-infrared observations (from Spitzer and JWST) have revealed a hidden population of galaxies at redshift $z=3$--$6$ called optically dark objects, which are believed to be massive and dusty star-formers. They contribute substantially to the cosmic star-formation rate (SFR) density at $z (up to $30$--$40<!PCT!>$). While optically dark sources are widely recognized as a significant component of the stellar mass function, the history of their stellar mass assembly (and the evolution of t… Show more
