Astr 328 April 23, 2003: Formation of disk galaxies  

Relating Lyman alpha forest (GAS detections) to galaxies (STAR detections)

Survey of same space using both techniques

Transmission (inverse of absorption) vs distance from galaxy

SN may have an effect for several hundred kpc

Summary: learning about galaxy formation from high-z galaxies

How about formation of DISK galaxies?

They are lower in surface brightness

Need to get spectra to see rotational kinematics

Then you can play Tully-Fisher games

More spectra and rotation curves

Star formation history of universe

What we may have missed

Metal ejection rate as f(z)
