Title: The Origin of Dust in High-z Galaxies

Author(s): Eli Dwek

Abstract: The discovery of massive amounts of dust in the high-redshift galaxy J1148+5251, when the universe was merely ~ 900 Myr old, presents a unique opportunity for studying the role of massive stars in the formation and destruction of dust grains, and the potential role of AGB as dust sources as well. In this talk I will review the different models for the presence of dust and the origin of the infrared emission in these galaxies.
