Supermassive black holes have been observed even at redshift 7, their formation and growth need to be highly efficient in order to obtain final masses of more than 10^9 solar. Theoretical models suggest the formation of their seeds in dark matter halos with virial temperatures above 10^4 K at z~15, as such halos may cool efficiently via atomic hydrogen. At the same time, in order to avoid...

Outflows and the structure of the ISM in high-redshift galaxies Recent observations of high-redshift galaxies indicate that the conditions in their ISM are distinctively different to local galaxies. High formation rates of stars embedded in an extremely dense and highly turbulent interstellar medium with high molecular gas fractions and strong gas outflows are ubiquitous. We present new...
