Herschel has opened new windows into studying the evolution of rapidly star-forming galaxies out to high redshifts. Todays massive starbursts are characterized by star formation rates (SFRs) of 100+ Mo/yr and display a chaotic morphology and nucleated star formation indicative of a major merger. At z~2, galaxies of similar mass and SFR are characterized by ordered rotation and distributed star formation. The emerging cold accretion paradigm provides an intuitive understanding for such differences. In it, halo accretion rates govern the supply of gas into star-forming regions, modulated by strong outflows. The high accretion rates at high-z drive more rapid star formation, while also making disks thicker and clumpier; the clumps are expected to be short-lived in the presence of strong galactic outflows as observed. Hence equivalently rapid star-formers at high redshift are not analogous to local merger-driven starbursts, but rather to local disks with highly enhanced accretion rates.
The existence of massive ($10^{11}$ solar masses) elliptical galaxies by redshift z~4 (when the Universe was 1.5 billion years old) necessitates the presence of galaxies with star-formation rates exceeding 100 solar masses per year at z>6 (correspond
This paper presents a compilation of clustering results taken from the literature for galaxies with highly enhanced (SFR [30-10^3] Msun/yr) star formation activity observed in the redshift range z=[0-3]. We show that, irrespective of the selection te
Motivated by Genzel et al.s observations of high-redshift star-forming galaxies, containing clumpy and turbulent rings or disks, we build a set of equations describing the dynamical evolution of gaseous disks with inclusion of star formation and its
Identifying galaxy clustering at high redshift (i.e. z > 1) is essential to our understanding of the current cosmological model. However, at increasing redshift, clusters evolve considerably in star-formation activity and so are less likely to be ide
New results from a large survey of H-alpha emission-line galaxies at z=0.84 using WFCAM/UKIRT and a custom narrow-band filter in the J band are presented as part of the HiZELS survey. Reaching an effective flux limit of 1e-16 erg/s/cm^2 in a comoving
