Star formation history of the Universe (mostly optical view) First light + cosmic reionization ‘epoch of galaxy assembly’ ~50% of present day stellar mass produced between z~1 to 3 Bouwens +
Star formation as function of stellar mass ‘active star formation’ specific SFR = SFR/M*~ e-folding time-1 tH-1 ‘red and dead’ Zheng ea ‘Downsizing’: Massive galaxies form most of stars quickly, at high z (see also: stellar pop. synthesis at low z; evolved galaxies at z ~1 to 2)
Optical Limitation 1: Dust • Dust correction in UV • Factor 5 at z < 4 • No correction at z > 6 ? Bouwens +
Optical Limitation 2: Cold gas = fuel for star formation (‘The missing half of galaxy formation’) Integrated Kennicutt-Schmidt star formation law: relate SFR and gas content of galaxies Low and high z starbursts Power-law index = 1.5 Low z spirals ‘SFR’ ‘Mgas’
