Include CMB heating of dust for high-redshift galaxies #9

Closed petercamps closed 4 years ago

petercamps commented 5 years ago

Description Provide the option to include the contribution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at a given redshift to the dust heating (i.e. the energy balance equation) in a model.

Alternative It might also be possible to simply add the CMB as a separate background source.

Context For very-high-redshift galaxies, the CMB contribution might be significant.
