On the Analysis of DLA Kinematics

J. Xavier Prochaska, Arthur M. Wolfe

We discuss two mistreatments of damped Lya (DLA) kinematic analysis that were first performed by Haehnelt, Steinmetz, & Rauch (1998; hereafter HSR98) and have recently been repeate…

How do Galaxies Accrete Gas and Form Stars?

M. E. Putman, P. Henning, A. Bolatto +42

Great strides have been made in the last two decades in determining how galaxies evolve from their initial dark matter seeds to the complex structures we observe at z=0. The role o…

Imaging the cool gas, dust, star formation, and AGN in the first galaxies

C. L. Carilli, S. Myers, P. Appleton +16

When, and how, did the first galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBH) form, and how did they reionization the Universe? First galaxy formation and cosmic reionization are among…
