• ISM evolution at high z
• Arp 220 -- merging starburst galaxy
• CII probing high z galaxies
early universe galaxy formation : hierarchical growth of dark matter concentrations accretion of baryonic gas in DM centers/halos galaxy evolution morphological & dynamical evolution interstellar gas è stars if no accretion, star formation stops enhanced SF -- starbursts due to merging
present day galaxies : spirals – young stars + gas ellipticals – old stars, no gas
