Evolution of the dust mass density as a function of look-back time. The N2GN results are depicted as red filled circles. All other symbols belong to literature data, as indicated in the right-hand panel. Local estimates are by Vlahakis et al. (2005) and Beeston et al. (2018); combinations of optical-NIR and FIR-sub-millimeter data are by Eales & Ward (2024) and Driver et al. (2018); Herschel-based studies are by Beeston et al. (2024), Pozzi et al. (2020) and Dunne et al. (2011); sub-millimeter and millimeter driven results are by Pozzi et al. (2021), Dudzevičiūtė et al. (2021), and Magnelli et al. (2020); and finally derivations of ρ_dust are based on Ω_gas (Péroux & Howk 2020) and MgII absorbers (Ménard & Fukugita 2012). All data have been rescaled to our chosen cosmology and κ_ν (Draine et al. 2014). Figure C.1 presents a full-color version and Fig. D.1 shows ρ_dust as a function of redshift.
