Abstract

I will discuss the potential of next generation Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments for studies of extragalactic sources, starting from what we learned from the Planck mission. The substantially better angular resolution foreseen for projects like CORE, PICO, CMB-S4 translates into substantially fainter detection limits. This will not only boost by large factors the number of detections but will also make possible entirely new science such as: the detection of thousands of high-z extreme strongly gravitationally lensed galaxies; the direct detection of large samples of galaxy proto-clusters up to z~4; the study of the evolution of the star-formation in virialized groups and clusters of galaxies; the study of the polarization properties of large samples of radio sources and, for the first time, of dusty galaxies at mm and sub-mm wavelengths.
