Epoch of galaxy formation (z1.5 3)

• Submm/radio surveys reveal massive, dusty
  starburst galaxies at high redshift, often unseen
  in deepest optical surveys (eg. HDF)
• Comparable SFR at zgt2 in these submm galaxies
  as optically selected galaxies formation of
  large elliptical galaxies?
• Combined radio/mm/(near)IR allows for accurate
  positions, and coarse redshifts
• currently limited to extreme starbusts (1000
  M_sun/yr)
