Evolution of cosmic star formation in the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey

We present a new exploration of the cosmic star-formation history and dust obscuration in massive galaxies at redshifts $0.5z 10^{10}M_\odot$ galaxies at $0.5z 10$. One third of this is accounted for by 450$\mu$m-detected sources, while one fifth is attributed to UV-luminous sources (brighter than $L^\ast_{UV}$), although even these are largely obscured. By extrapolating our results to include all stellar masses, we estimate a total SFRD that is in good agreement with previous results from IR and UV data at $z\lesssim3$, and from UV-only data at $z\sim5$. The cosmic star-formation history undergoes a transition at $z\sim3-4$, as predominantly unobscured growth in the early Universe is overtaken by obscured star formation, driven by the build-up of the most massive galaxies during the peak of cosmic assembly.
