Understanding Galaxy Assembly (A01)

我们研究了在星系聚集和宇宙中大多数恒星形成的宇宙时期星系中恒星形成的条件和影响。通过对突出的分子和原子谱线的观测，我们研究了遥远和超平均恒星形成星系的星际介质的详细结构、动力学和条件。我们还利用深连续谱干涉观测测量了典型恒星形成星系的代表性样本的气体含量和分布。我们利用新的亚毫米望远镜CCAT-PRIME进行观测，特别是利用其独特的能力来研究环境对高红移星系恒星形成活动的影响。

We study the condition and impact of star-formation in galaxies at the cosmic epoch when galaxies assembled and most stars in the universe formed. Through observations of prominent molecular and atomic spectral lines, we study the detailed structures, dynamics and conditions of the interstellar medium of distant and super-average star-forming galaxies. We also measure the gas content and distribution of representative sample of typical star-forming galaxies using deep continuum interferometric observations. We prepare observation with the novel sub-mm telescope CCAT-prime, and in particular exploit its unique capability to study the impact of environment on the star-forming activity of high-redshift galaxies.
