Simulations: high-z clumps could both dissipate to form disks and coalesce to form bulges (e.g., Bournaud et al 2011; Ceverino et al. 2010, Krumholz et al. 2010; Agertz et al. 2009; Elmegreen 2008) – potential building block of local spirals Simulation Ceverino et al. 10 Bournaud et al. 11 (Faucher-Giguere's Perret's simulations)
When UV Clumps become disks? z < 1.5 – restframe UV Instruments: WFPC2 F300W U band (de Mello et al. 2006, Voyer et al. 2009) ACS SBC F150LP (Voyer et al. 2011) BUT more recently WFC3 UVIS (de Mello, Soto, Bond, Teplitz)

Starburst – 2500A Why UV?
Giant HII regions/Super OB associations Powered by massive young clusters with 100 to 1000 O/WR stars, instead of a few as in regular HII regions (Zinnecker & Yorke ARAA 2007). The Carina Nebula in the Milky Way – 150 pc 30 Doradus in the LMC – 100 pc (radius) NGC 604 in M33 – 200 pc (radius)

Careful when using UV to study overall properties of galaxies There are UV clumps without clear signatures of disks Most of UV clumps seem to be in disks at z ~ 1 UV clumps are much larger than HII regions, SSCs, etc Found no signatures of size evolution in UV clumps at z~1 in comparison with higher-z
