Dust in High Redshift Starburst Galaxies

K. D. Gordon, T. L. Smith, & G. C. Clayton 1999, in "The Hy-Redshift Universe: Galaxy Formation and Evolution at High Redshift", (ASP Conf. Proceed.), eds. A. J. Bunker & W. J. M. van Breugel, (ASP: San Francisco), 517

We have determined that the dust in starburst galaxies with z = 0 to 3 in the North & South Hubble Deep Fields is similar to the dust seen in the Small Magellanic Cloud star forming bar. Measuring the attenuation due to dust in individual galaxies with better than 1 mag accuracy is not possible without combining UV and far-IR observations.
