Descripción
Far infrared and sub-millimeter observations of quasars and normal star
forming galaxies at z>6 have revealed the presence of large amounts
of dust. At such high redshifts, the inferred
107-109 M_ȯ masses of dust must have formed
in less than one billion years. Explaining this rapid chemical evolution
is a challenge for both observations and theoretical models. Here we
discuss the relative role of the two main stellar sources, AGB stars and
SNe, in early dust enrichment, in light of new theoretical dust yields
for AGB stars.
