Abstract: Lecture describing ISOCAM deep surveys at 15 microns, which revealed a repidly evolving population of galaxies, with a median redshift of 0.7-0.8 in which star formation is proceeding at a rapid rate. Based on correlations between the mid infrared emissions of galaxies and their output at other frequencies, lecturer shows that these galaxies are likely to be the main contributors to the Cosmic Infrared Background. She also discusses the consequences for the evolution of the global rate of star formation in the universe.
