Glimpses of Star-Forming Gas in the Early Universe


Star formation is an integral part of the processes that drive the evolution and formation of galaxies. Studies of star formation at high redshift are conducted in many wavelength bands; radio observations offer the opportunity to observe the star-forming gas itself. There are a few dozen high-z galaxies that allow glimpses of star-forming gas with existing radio telescopes. A summary of what has been learned from this small, heterogeneous sample will be presented, along with the prospects for this field with the EVLA and ALMA. A brief report on the status of ALMA construction concludes the talk.
