Hans Walter Rix (Max Planck) "Fuel Exploration in the Early Universe: The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field"
October 13, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Abstract:
Much of the exploration of the high-redshift
Universe has focussed on first finding sites of ongoing star formation.
This can then lead to pointed follow-up of how much
cold (molecular) gas there is that feeds this star formation.
ALMA now enables ‘blind’ surveys for molecular gas, the fuel
supply for galaxy formation at early epochs.
I will report on initial results of what such surveys can yield.
