“THE POWER SOURCE for dusty galaxies. About 99% of the energy released by galaxies in the submm and far-IR wavebands is produced by thermal emission from dust grains; the remainder comes from fine-structure atomic and molecular rotational line emission. However, the source of the energy to power this emission by heating dust is often unclear.” (IR = infrared; Submm == submillimeter wavelengths).
