111. (2) Effects of Low Molecular Content in DLAs Median f H2 =10 -6 in DLAs. By comparison, f H2 =10 -1 in MW SFR~f H2 in most models for star formation Contrast Between DLAs and MW MW: Since N crit ~N shield ~10 20.7 cm -2, Toomre instability N>N crit leads to significant molecule formation, and to star formation DLAs: If N shield (=10 22 ) > N crit (=10 21.5 ), Toomre instability leads to gravitationally bound atomic clouds, hence no star formation. Reason for high N shield in DLAs is low dust content (  =0.025) and high FUV radiation intensities (G 0 ~4).

131. Summary of Results Application of Kennicutt-Schmidt Law to neutral gas at high z predicts significantly higher comoving SFR densities than observed Physical Implications -SFR Efficiency is lower in high-z neutral gas -Explanation ? Increase in critical density with z lower molecular content of gas lower volume density Astrophysical Implications -Predicted metal content lower than observed at z~3 -Comoving cooling rate of gas exceeds upper limits on heating rate due to in situ star formation in gas Suggested Scenario -DLAs with higher [C II] cooling rates powered by centrally located LBGs, which may also supply required metals Star formation mode: central bulge formation at z > 2. Switch to wide spread star formation at lower z’s

132. Emerging Picture At high z, star formation and element production occurs mainly in compact LBGs. DLAs are neutral gas reservoirs that supply “fuel” for LBG star formation rate. Questions (1) How does DLA gas become chemically enriched? DLA abundance pattern indicates core-collapse SNe. (2) Why is star formation suppressed in DLA gas? (3) Galaxies at z < 1.5 exhibit star formation over large areas. What causes shift from compact to diffuse mode?
