The Theoretical Challenge (how do we catch up to the observers?): What is a physical model for SMGs (how do we form them)? How do they fit in an evolutionary scenario for hierarchical galaxy formation? (aka, how do we connect them to quasars?) Desika Narayanan EVLA Conference

SMGs are Major Mergers at z~2 Opacity dominated by birth clouds during starburst Opacity dominated by diffuse dust during inspiral Desika Narayanan EVLA Conference Narayanan, Hayward, Cox et al. in prep. Narayanan, Hayward, Cox, Younger et al. submitted
SMGs are Major Mergers at z~2 Low luminosity (~5 mJy) SMGs are smaller scale (~100-200 M/yr) starbursts. The most luminous (~20 mJy) SMGs are “maximal” high mass starbursts during final coalesence. Individual Spirals will have trouble reproducing anything except very low luminosity SMGs.
