The Interstellar Medium of High Redshift Galaxies

9 April - 4 May 2018

Andrea Ferrara, Richard Ellis, Fabian Walter

Galaxy Assembly

Key questions:

What drives the assembly history of early galaxies - mergers, accretion etc?
What are the prospects for charting the earliest galaxies?
How does the gaseous and dust content of galaxies evolve with time?
When and how do galaxies get enriched with heavy elements?
Can gas kinematics be used to reliably measure dynamical masses?

ISM Structure & Reionization

Key questions:

Are there standard ISM phases (molecular, neutral, ionized, shock-heated)?
What controls them?
Under what conditions is the ISM sufficiently porous to permit leaking ionizing radiation?
What are the effects of dust and heavy elements on the visibility of distant systems?
What is the evolution of the mass-metallicity relation?

Star Formation

Key questions:

What are the properties of molecular clouds?
How are they related to star formation?
Are the regulatory effects of CMB important?
What about CR heating, turbulent injection and magnetic fields?

Feedbacks, Mass/Energy Outflows

Key questions:

What physics regulates the interplay between the galaxy and its circumgalactic medium?
Can we see feedback in action? Do we expect powerful outflows enriching the intergalactic medium?
What are the optimal experimental probes of galaxy feedback?
