Atomic matter collapses within dark matter halos to form galaxies.
Does it always form stars? How often is the light of the stars
dimmed by dusty envelopes? Is the galaxy formation process still
ongoing at the present epoch? Do totally "dark" galaxies exist?
This symposium will focus on how major galaxy surveys at radio, millimeter and submillimeter
wavelengths, including the
ALFALFA
survey underway at Arecibo and those being
planned for the future Cornell-Caltech Atacama Telescope
(CCAT), will shed light
on some of the hidden mysteries of the galaxy formation process.
