We study the kinematical properties of galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization via the [CII] 158$mu$m line emission. The line profile provides information on the kinematics as well as structural properties such as the presence of a disk and satellites. To understand how these properties are encoded in the line profile, first we develop analytical models from which we identify disk inclination and gas turbulent motions as the key parameters affecting the line profile. To gain further insights, we use Althaea, a highly-resolved ($30, rm pc$) simulated prototypical Lyman Break Galaxy, in the redshift range $z = 6-7$, when the galaxy is in a very active assembling phase. Based on morphology, we select three main dynamical stages: I) Merger , II) Spiral Disk, and III) Disturbed Disk. We identify spectral signatures of merger events, spiral arms, and extra-planar flows in I), II), and III), respectively. We derive a generalised dynamical mass vs. [CII]-line FWHM relation. If precise information on the galaxy inclination is (not) available, the returned mass estimate is accurate within a factor $2$ ($4$). A Tully-Fisher relation is found for the observed high-$z$ galaxies, i.e. $L_{rm[CII]}propto (FWHM)^{1.80pm 0.35}$ for which we provide a simple, physically-based interpretation. Finally, we perform mock ALMA simulations to check the detectability of [CII]. When seen face-on, Althaea is always detected at $> 5sigma$; in the edge-on case it remains undetected because the larger intrinsic FWHM pushes the line peak flux below detection limit. This suggests that some of the reported non-detections might be due to inclination effects.

ALMA observations have revealed that [CII] 158$mu$m line emission in high-z galaxies is ~2-3$times$ more extended than the UV continuum emission. Here we explore whether surface brightness dimming (SBD) of the [CII] line is responsible for the report
ed [CII] deficit, and the large $L_{rm [OIII]}/L_{rm [CII]}$ luminosity ratio measured in early galaxies. We first analyse archival ALMA images of nine z>6 galaxies observed in both [CII] and [OIII]. After performing several uv-tapering experiments to optimize the identification of extended line emission, we detect [CII] emission in the whole sample, with an extent systematically larger than the [CII] emission. Next, we use interferometric simulations to study the effect of SBD on the line luminosity estimate. About 40% of the extended [CII] component might be missed at an angular resolution of 0.8$^{primeprime}$, implying that $L_{rm [CII]}$ is underestimated by a factor $approx2$ in data at low (<7) signal-to-noise ratio . By combining these results, we conclude that $L_{rm [CII]}$ of z>6 galaxies lies, on average, slightly below the local $L_{rm [CII]}-SFR$ relation ($Delta^{z=6-9}=-0.07pm0.3$), but within the intrinsic dispersion of the relation. SBD correction also yields $L_{rm [OIII]}/L_{rm [CII]}<10$, i.e. more in line with current hydrodynamical simulations.
We report on ~0.35(~2 kpc) resolution observations of the [CII] and dust continuum emission from five z>6 quasar host-companion galaxy pairs obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The [CII] emission is resolved in all galaxie
s, with physical extents of 3.2-5.4 kpc. The dust continuum is on-average 40% more compact, which results in larger [CII] deficits in the center of the galaxies. However, the measured [CII] deficits are fully consistent with those found at lower redshifts. Four of the galaxies show [CII] velocity fields that are consistent with ordered rotation, while the remaining six galaxies show no clear velocity gradient. All galaxies have high (~80-200 km/s) velocity dispersions, consistent with the interpretation that the interstellar medium (ISM) of these high redshift galaxies is turbulent. By fitting the galaxies with kinematic models, we estimate the dynamical mass of these systems, which range between (0.3 -> 5.4) x 1E10 Msun. For the three closest separation galaxy pairs, we observe dust and [CII] emission from gas in between and surrounding the galaxies, which is an indication that tidal interactions are disturbing the gas in these systems. Although gas exchange in these tidal interactions could power luminous quasars, the existence of quasars in host galaxies without nearby companions suggests that tidal interactions are not the only viable method for fueling their active centers. These observations corroborate the assertion that accreting supermassive black holes do not substantially contribute to the [CII] and dust continuum emission of the quasar host galaxies, and showcase the diverse ISM properties of galaxies when the universe was less than one billion years old.
A tight relation between the [CII]158$mu$m line luminosity and star formation rate is measured in local galaxies. At high redshift ($z>5$), though, a much larger scatter is observed, with a considerable (15-20%) fraction of the outliers being [CII]-d
eficient. Moreover, the [CII] surface brightness ($Sigma_{rm CII}$) of these sources is systematically lower than expected from the local relation. To clarify the origin of such [CII]-deficiency we have developed an analytical model that fits local [CII] data, and has been validated against radiative transfer simulations performed with CLOUDY. The model predicts an overall increase of $Sigma_{rm CII}$ with the surface star formation rate ($Sigma_*$). However, for $Sigma_* > 1 M_odot~{rm yr}^{-1}~{rm kpc}^{-2}$, $Sigma_{rm CII}$ saturates. We conclude that underluminous [CII] systems can result from a combination of three factors: (a) large upward deviations from the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation ($kappa_s gg 1$), parameterized by the burstiness parameter $kappa_s$; (b) low metallicity; (c) low gas density, at least for the most extreme sources (e.g. CR7). Observations of [CII] emission alone cannot break the degeneracy among the above three parameters; this requires additional information coming from other emission lines (e.g. [OIII]88$mu$m, CIII]1909A, CO lines). Simple formulae are given to interpret available data for low and high-$z$ galaxies.
The Lya line in the UV and the [CII] line in the FIR are widely used tools to identify galaxies and to obtain insights into ISM properties in the early Universe. By combining data obtained with ALMA in band 7 at ~ 320 GHz as part of the ALMA Large Pr
ogram to INvestigate [CII] at Early Times (ALPINE) with spectroscopic data from DEIMOS at Keck, VIMOS and FORS2 at the VLT, we assembled a unique sample of 53 main-sequence star-forming galaxies at 4.4 < z < 6 in which we detect both the Lya line and the [CII]. We used [CII], observed with ALMA, as a tracer of the systemic velocity of the galaxies, and we find that 90% of the selected objects have Lya-[CII] velocity offsets in the range 0 < Dv_Lya-[CII] < 400 km/s, in line with the few measurements available so far in the early Universe, and significantly smaller than those observed at lower z. We observe ISM-[CII] offsets in the range -500 < Dv_ISM-[CII] < 0 km/s, in line with values at all redshifts. We find significant anticorrelations between Dv_Lya-[CII] and the Lya rest-frame equivalent width EW0(Lya) (or equivalently, the Lya escape fraction f_esc(Lya)). According to available models for the radiative transfer of Lya photons, the escape of Lya photons would be favored in galaxies with high outflow velocities, in agreement with our observations. The uniform shell model would also predict that the Lya escape in galaxies with slow outflows (0 < v_out < 300 km/s) is mainly determined by the neutral hydrogen column density (NHI), while the alternative model by Steidel+10 would favor a combination of NHI and covering fraction as driver of the Lya escape. We suggest that the observed increase in Lya escape that is observed between z~2 and z~6 is not due to a higher incidence of fast outflows at high redshift, but rather to a decrease in average NHI along the line of sight, or alternatively, a decrease in HI covering fraction.

The [CII] fine structure transition at 158 microns is the dominant cooling line of cool interstellar gas, and is the brightest of emission lines from star forming galaxies from FIR through meter wavelengths. With the advent of ALMA and NOEMA, capable
of detecting [CII]-line emission in high-redshift galaxies, there has been a growing interest in using the [CII] line as a probe of the physical conditions of the gas in galaxies, and as a SFR indicator at z>4. In this paper, we use a semi-analytical model of galaxy evolution (G.A.S.) combined with the code CLOUDY to predict the [CII] luminosity of a large number of galaxies at 4< z<8. At such high redshift, the CMB represents a strong background and we discuss its effects on the luminosity of the [CII] line. We study the LCII-SFR and LCII-Zg relations and show that they do not strongly evolve with redshift from z=4 and to z=8. Galaxies with higher [CII] luminosities tend to have higher metallicities and higher star formation rates but the correlations are very broad, with a scatter of about 0.5 dex for LCII-SFR. Our model reproduces the LCII-SFR relations observed in high-redshift star-forming galaxies, with [CII] luminosities lower than expected from local LCII-SFR relations. Accordingly, the local observed LCII-SFR relation does not apply at high-z. Our model naturally produces the [CII] deficit, which appears to be strongly correlated with the intensity of the radiation field in our simulated galaxies. We then predict the [CII] luminosity function, and show that it has a power law form in the range of LCII probed by the model with a slope alpha=1. The slope is not evolving from z=4 to z=8 but the number density of [CII]-emitters decreases by a factor of 20x. We discuss our predictions in the context of current observational estimates on both the differential and cumulative luminosity functions.
