Epoch of “galaxy formation” (z=1.5 – 3) • Submm/radio surveys reveal massive, dusty starburst galaxies at high redshift, often unseen in deepest optical surveys (eg. HDF) • Comparable SFR at z>2 in these “submm galaxies” as optically selected galaxies = formation of large elliptical galaxies? • Combined radio/mm/(near)IR allows for accurate positions, and coarse redshifts • currently limited to extreme starbusts (1000 M_sun/yr)
