چکیده
I review the characteristics of high redshift galaxies, with particular attention to the effects of dust obscuration on the observed light. Galaxies at redshift z∼1 and at z>2 are discussed separately, as the accessible information for each redshift range are different. In the z≤1–2 redshift region, data on the Hα and mid/far-IR luminosity of the galaxies are becoming increasingly available, effectively complementing the restframe UV data; they offer a better handle on the amount of dust obscuration present in the galaxies, although some ambiguity remains as to the distribution of the dust within the system and the opacity correction factor this implies. At higher redshifts, most of the available data cover the far-UV region only, representing a challenge for a careful assessment of the effects of dust in galaxies. Finally, I discuss the implications of the dust corrections to the star formation rate density of the Universe as a function of redshift.

We discuss simulations of gas at high redshift. We briefly review the methods used and the results for quasar absorption lines. We present gas mass functions and galaxy correlation functions for 5 different cosmological models. Galaxies should be detectable at redshifts greater than 2 by SKAI, and measurements of the gas mass functions and galaxy correlation functions could be used to discrimin...

Gravitational lensing can be used to analyze the redshift distribution of faint galaxies. In particular the magnification bias modifies locally the galaxy number density of lensed sources observed in lensing clusters. This depletion area probes the redshift distribution of galaxies beyond B = 25. In this proceedings I present this new tool to infer the redhsift distribution of faint galaxies.

Identifying the optical/near-infrared (NIR) counterparts to the distant submillimeter (submm) source population has proved difficult due to poor submm spatial resolution. However, the proportionality of both centimeter and submm data to the star formation rate suggests that high resolution radio continuum maps with subarcsecond positional accuracy could be exploited to locate submm sources. We ...
