The Origin of Galaxies: Lessons from
the Distant Universe
Zusammenfassung:
Two years ago a meeting was held to
prepare observing with three major new facilities that are providing
European astronomers with data in the sub-mm and far-IR wavebands: the
Herschel Space Observatory (HSO), SCUBA-2 on the renewed James Clark Maxwell
Telescope (JCMT), and part of the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA). The
meeting was focused on the science topic of the origin of galaxies, which
benefits especially from data taken using these new telescopes. We also
discussed how these results will relate to data taken at other wavelengths.
Late 2009 the first data should have been taken, so December 2009 is the
right time to provide a platform to present the first science results. The
aim is to bring together many of the European astronomers that have been
planning these observations and those that have been improving and extending
their galaxy formation models to include sub-mm and far-IR predictions at
high redshift. As non-Europeans will have been active as well during this
time, we aim to have a sizable fraction of the participants coming from
outside of Europe in order to compare results and discuss the consequences
for galaxy formation models in the light of all data obtained, including the
wealth of
multi-wavelength data that is being gathered using a wide range of
instruments, from GALEX to Spitzer, and from APEX to the GBT.
