Galaxies at z = 6: Hot and turbulent?

Andreas FAISST

Galaxies at high redshift are significantly different in structure and physical properties compared to galaxies in the local Universe. ALMA allows us to probe these differences in more detail at z > 5. In my talk I will discuss a potential evolution of the dust properties and distribution in z=5.5 galaxies compared to lower redshifts making use of the IRX-Beta diagram. There may be less evolution as suggested by previous studies when including accurate UV colors from HST and a increase in IR temperature based on local galaxies and high-z analogs. Nonetheless, a large fraction of galaxies remain that cannot be explained by common simple models of dust attenuation in galaxies. For these young and turbulent galaxies the dust distribution is significantly altered.
