Constraints on CMBR flux due to high-z dust emission

Gjergo & Kroupa (2025) have proposed a new foreground CMBR component produced by dust associated with the progenitor clouds at z=15−20 that led to the formation of massive early-type galaxies, calculating that a minimum of 1.4% and a maximum of 100% of the whole CMBR radiation would be produced by this mechanism. Here, I check how much dust emission is compatible with the spectrum of the CMBR monopole flux measurements within the corresponding errors. COBE-FIRAS monopole is fitted to different models with different dust emissivity spectral indexes (β) and dispersion of redshifts of the progenitor clouds (σd). Within the realistic values of β≥0.5, σd≥0.8, the contamination of CMBR flux by high z dust should be <1.3% (95% CL).
