An ALMA archival perspective on the evolution of galaxy dynamics

  • 1. Kapteyn Astronomical Institute

Description

ALMA is bringing us to the forefront of a revolutionary transformation in the field of galaxy formation and evolution, providing observations with high angular and spectral resolution that unveil intricate details of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies over a wide range of cosmic history. This transformative perspective has challenged current galaxy evolution models and has contributed to constructing a nuanced understanding of the evolution of ISM properties and galaxy dynamics. However, even after 10 years of ALMA operation, the archive offers high-resolution observations only for $<$ 50 intrinsically bright or gravitationally lensed galaxies. During this talk, I will discuss the importance of extending studies to the fainter but more abundant star-forming galaxy population. This will be possible thanks to the higher observing efficiency achievable thanks to the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade.
