I present a model for the star formation properties of z~2 starburst galaxies. Here, I discuss models for the formation of high-z Submillimeter Galaxies, as well as the CO-H2 conversion factor for these systems. I then apply these models to literature observations. I show that when using a functional form for XCO that varies smoothly with the physical properties in galaxies, galaxies at both local and high-z lie on a unimodal Kennicutt-Schmidt star formation law, with power-law index of ~2. The inferred gas fractions of these galaxies are large (fgas ~ 0.2-0.4), though a factor ~2 lower than most literature estimates that utilize locally-calibrated CO-H2 conversion factors.

We study the star formation and the mass assembly process of 0.3<=z<2.5 galaxies using their IR emission from MIPS 24um band. We used an updated version of the GOODS-MUSIC catalog, extended by the addition of mid-IR fluxes. We compared two different
estimators of the Star Formation Rate: the total infrared emission derived from 24um, estimated using both synthetic and empirical IR templates, and the multiwavelength fit to the full galaxy SED. For both estimates, we computed the SFR Density and the Specific SFR. The two SFR tracers are roughly consistent, given the uncertainties involved. However, they show a systematic trend, IR-based estimates exceeding the fit-based ones as the SFR increases. We show that: a) at z>0.3, the SFR is well correlated with stellar mass, and this relationship seems to steepen with redshift (using IR-based SFRs); b) the contribution to the global SFRD by massive galaxies increases with redshift up to ~2.5, more rapidly than for galaxies of lower mass, but appears to flatten at higher z; c) despite this increase, the most important contributors to the SFRD at any z are galaxies of about, or immediately lower than, the characteristic stellar mass; d) at z~2, massive galaxies are actively star-forming, with a median SFR 300 Msun/yr. During this epoch, they assemble a substantial part of their final stellar mass; e) the SSFR shows a clear bimodal distribution. The analysis of the SFRD and the SSFR seems to support the downsizing scenario, according to which high mass galaxies have formed their stars earlier and faster than their low mass counterparts. A comparison with theoretical models indicates that they follow the global increase in the SSFR with redshift and predict the existence of quiescent galaxies even at z>1.5, but they systematically underpredict the average SSFR.
We propose that star formation is delayed relative to the inflow rate in rapidly-accreting galaxies at very high redshift (z > 2) because of the energy conveyed by the accreting gas. Accreting gas streams provide fuel for star formation, but they sti
r the disk and increase turbulence above the usual levels compatible with gravitational instability, reducing the star formation efficiency in the available gas. After the specific inflow rate has sufficiently decreased - typically at z < 3 - galaxies settle in a self-regulated regime with efficient star formation. An analytic model shows that this interaction between infalling gas and young galaxies can significantly delay star formation and maintain high gas fractions (>40%) down to z = 2, in contrast to other galaxy formation models. Idealized hydrodynamic simulations of infalling gas streams onto primordial galaxies confirm the efficient energetic coupling at z > 2, and suggest that this effect is largely under-resolved in existing cosmological simulations.
Observations of the high redshift Universe, interpreted in the context of a new generation of computer simulated model Universes, are providing new insights into the processes by which galaxies and quasars form and evolve, as well as the relationship
between the formation of virialized, star-forming systems and the evolution of the intergalactic medium. We describe our recent measurements of the star-formation rates, stellar populations, and structure of galaxies and protogalactic fragments at z~2.5, including narrow-band imaging in the near-IR, IR spectroscopy, and deep imaging from the ground and from space, using HST and ISO.
We present deep {it Spitzer} mid-infrared spectroscopy, along with 16, 24, 70, and 850,$micron$ photometry, for 22 galaxies located in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North (GOODS-N) field. The sample spans a redshift range of $0.6la z la
2.6$, 24~$mu$m flux densities between $sim$0.2$-$1.2 mJy, and consists of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), X-ray or optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGN), and optically faint ($z_{AB}>25$,mag) sources. We find that infrared (IR; $8-1000~micron$) luminosities derived by fitting local spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with 24~$micron$ photometry alone are well matched to those when additional mid-infrared spectroscopic and longer wavelength photometric data is used for galaxies having $zla1.4$ and 24~$micron$-derived IR luminosities typically $la 3times 10^{12}~L_{sun}$. However, for galaxies in the redshift range between $1.4la z la 2.6$, typically having 24~$micron$-derived IR luminosities $ga 3times 10^{12}~L_{sun}$, IR luminosities are overestimated by an average factor of $sim$5 when SED fitting with 24~$micron$ photometry alone. This result arises partly due to the fact that high redshift galaxies exhibit aromatic feature equivalent widths that are large compared to local galaxies of similar luminosities. Through a spectral decomposition of mid-infrared spectroscopic data, we are able to isolate the fraction of IR luminosity arising from an AGN as opposed to star formation activity. This fraction is only able to account for $sim$30% of the total IR luminosity among the entire sample.
We use the James Clerk Maxwell Telescopes SCUBA-2 camera to image a 400 arcmin^2 area surrounding the GOODS-N field. The 850 micron rms noise ranges from a value of 0.49 mJy in the central region to 3.5 mJy at the outside edge. From these data, we co
nstruct an 850 micron source catalog to 2 mJy containing 49 sources detected above the 4-sigma level. We use an ultradeep (11.5 uJy at 5-sigma) 1.4 GHz image obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array together with observations made with the Submillimeter Array to identify counterparts to the submillimeter galaxies. For most cases of multiple radio counterparts, we can identify the correct counterpart from new and existing Submillimeter Array data. We have spectroscopic redshifts for 62% of the radio sources in the 9 arcmin radius highest sensitivity region (556/894) and 67% of the radio sources in the GOODS-N region (367/543). We supplement these with a modest number of additional photometric redshifts in the GOODS-N region (30). We measure millimetric redshifts from the radio to submillimeter flux ratios for the unidentified submillimeter sample, assuming an Arp 220 spectral energy distribution. We find a radio flux dependent K-z relation for the radio sources, which we use to estimate redshifts for the remaining radio sources. We determine the star formation rates (SFRs) of the submillimeter sources based on their radio powers and their submillimeter and find that they agree well. The radio data are deep enough to detect star-forming galaxies with SFRs >2000 solar masses per year to z~6. We find galaxies with SFRs up to ~6,000 solar masses per year over the redshift range z=1.5-6, but we see evidence for a turn-down in the SFR distribution function above 2000 solar masses per year.
