SUMMARY:Witnessing the Formation of Massive, Distant Galaxies in the (Sub)M
 illimeter Regime
DESCRIPTION:Witnessing the Formation of Massive, Distant Galaxies in the (S
 ub)Millimeter Regime\nDr. Helmut Dannerbauer\n\nIn order to understand gal
 axy formation it  is crucial to obtain sensitive observations of the emiss
 ion of dust and  molecular gas both of which constrain the on-going star f
 ormation or AGN  activity and the future potential of the galaxy to grow. 
  Constraining  the growth of ensemble of galaxies in the distant universe 
 and not  simply the most active ones, is one of the primary goals of curre
 nt and  planned (sub)mm facilities such as ALMA or SPICA. I will discuss t
 wo  major questions in galaxy formation and assembly: 1) are dusty galaxie
 s  vigorously forming stars embedded within large scale structures at  z&g
 t;1.5; and 2) do dusty starbursts exist at the highest redshift. To  shed 
 light on these obscure topics, I will present our on-going  observations o
 f dust and molecular gas with a number of different  (sub)mm facilities su
 ch as Herschel, APEX, IRAM or ALMA of one important  star forming galaxy p
 opulation in the distant universe: submillimeter  selected galaxies (SMGs)
 . My presentation will be complemented by our  recently initiated census o
 f the molecular gas reservoirs of nearby  galaxies with optical IFU covera
 ge.  The local analogs serve as a  reference sample for current and future
  studies of high-z galaxy  populations.
