hot DOG

(hot dust-obscured galaxy, hot dust-obscured object)
(high-energy galaxy with a lot of dust)

The term hot DOG (for hot dust-obscured galaxy or hot dust-obscured object) was used for about 1000 galaxies observed by WISE that each have a thousand times the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as the Milky Way, and redshifts in the 2-to-4 range (corresponding to ~10 billion years ago). They may be obscured quasars/active galactic nuclei. The name stems from the acronym DOG, used for dust-obscured galaxy.
