i2i3: still linking galaxy physics from ISM to IGM scales

Scientific Rationale

Our workshop is motivated by the fact that the datasets from facilities such as JWST, ALMA, NOEMA and MUSE are providing unrivaled glimpses of the earliest galaxies assembling in an infant Universe. These provide an unprecedented opportunity to baseline and enhance theoretical models. In this era forthcoming facilities including Euclid, SKA, ELT, EUCLID and LISA, it is also pertinent to discover and exploit the synergies between these different instruments in order to build a coherent picture of the Universe. Bringing together experts in ISM/CGM, galaxy formation and large-scale structure formation, our aim is to continue the discussion on establishing synergies between next-generation observatories using a combination of theoretical modelling and observations. We will address key outstanding questions including:
What is the key physics driving the dust and metal enrichment of early systems?
What is the key ISM physics governing the emission lines seen at high-redshifts?
What are the properties of the CGM that hold an appreciable gas component?
How were galaxy formation and reionization driven by the interplay between galaxies and the IGM?
