6 Galaxies at z~2-4: What do we know? A WFC3 Gallery at z~2-4 Local structures largely in place by z~1. z>1 galaxies small (~2 kpc), irregular morphology Outflow features in star-forming galaxies (Steidel et al. 2010) High SFR (~30 Msun/yr) typical, high gas fraction, high vdisp, outflows ubiquitous Understand global properties well: clustering, mass distribution, SFR, etc. Reference: David Law

7 Galaxies at z~2-4: What we donʼt know. Left: FUV stacked continuum image of z~2 SF galaxies. Right: Continuum-subtracted, stacked Lya emission image. Boxes ~150kpc to a side (Steidel et al. 2011). BPT diagram illustrating the effect of faint AGN on galaxy properties derived from unresolved data (red points: Wright et al. 2010). Reference: David Law How did galaxies accrete their gas? Generally see gas outflows, not inflows. What is the contribution of galaxies to the IGM? What is the prevalence of mergers? What regulates star formation? What do z~2-4 galaxies evolve into at z~0?

20 CGE

21 Fast Facts 30 meter, filled aperture, 492-segment primary mirror Three-mirror telescope f/1 primary Field of view 20 arcminute Wavelength µm Fully integrated adaptive optics Seeing-limited mode times the sensitivity of current telescopes (D 2 - D 4 gain) 3-5 times the resolution of James Webb Space Telescope 61 CGE

22 Looking forward with TMT and other next generation facilities. Nebular emission from HDF-BX1564 as simulated with Keck (left, confirmed by OSIRIS observations) and TMT (right). TMT significantly increases sensitivity to low surface brightness regions and individual star forming clumps (Law et al. 2009). Need to tie global properties with spatially resolved information to constrain details of SF and feedback. Can we constraint the SF histories (rising/flat/falling) of z>2 galaxies? TMT will reveal low-sb features and resolve individual super-star clusters. Will map kinematics, abundance gradients, and constrain central AGN in typical-brightness galaxies. Need deep observations of IGM surrounding galaxies to constrain gas-phase abundances and inflows/outflows. ALMA will map sites of current star formation. Need good theories of SF and dynamics in gas-dominated systems. Reference: David Law

23 Bahramʼs Questions: How many more high-z candidates are we going to discover with no hope of spectroscopic confirmation in our lifetime? Where does the search for the highest redshift galaxies lead to? How long more of our life are we going to spend looking at 9 arcmin 2 of the sky (the HUDF)? We don t know much about the nature of high-z galaxies because they are too faint to study and don t know much about details of nearby galaxies because we spend all our time looking for high-z galaxies Bahramʼs Suggestions: Need ambitious spectroscopic campaign to take ultra-deep exposures on z > 6 candidates. Concentrate on the bright-end of galaxy LF Perform wide-area surveys using new and unconventional broad-band filters at ~1 micron Do an entirely new field- no GOODS, no HUDF WFC3 grism observations?
