Abstract

Context. The cosmic far-infrared background (CIB) at wavelengths around 160 μm corresponds to the peak intensity of the whole extragalactic background light, which is being measured with increasing accuracy. However, the build up of the CIB emission as a function of redshift is still not well known.
