ALMA2040: Understanding the Early Assembly of Galaxies - The Formation of Star-Forming Clumps and their Role in Shaping Galaxy Evolution
ALMA2040 aims to connect cold gas, dust, and stellar structures across cosmic time using next-generation sub-mm observations to revolutionize galaxy evolution studies. It seeks to understand how giant molecular clouds (GMCs) form, how they relate to star-forming clumps, and the dynamics that govern their survival in galaxies from Cosmic Noon through the Epoch of Reionization.
